"BU Only" Resources

All "BU only" resources are library subscriptions that are accessible only from the Binghamton University network or from an Internet Service Provider using the library proxy server. Access and use is restricted by license agreements to purposes of research, teaching, and private study by current BU faculty, staff, and students.

Off Campus Access

Much of the information on the library website is accessible off campus without any special login. However, to get full access to metaLINK and to use library licensed resources marked BU ONLY, you will need to log in.

If you connect using SSL or through Road Runner or another Internet Service Provider, you will be prompted to log in with your PODS username and password. Before you login:

  1. Make sure that your browser is set to accept cookies.
  2. Make sure that JavaScript is enabled.
  3. Make sure you have your correct PODS username and password. If you forget them, check Computer Accounts Information.

It's Not Working!

  1. Try accessing another website to make sure your internet connection is working.
  2. Many "BU only" resources require a recent version of Internet Explorer or Firefox. If you are using a different browser, such as Opera or the AOL browser, you may not have full functionality.
  3. Make sure that JavaScript is enabled.
  4. Make sure that your browser is set to accept cookies.
