Remote Access of Electronic Resources

Remote Access (Off Campus Access) to Electronic Resources

Remote Access (Off Campus Access) means that you can access the library’s electronic journals, e-books, databases, etc. from any computer – whether you are at home or outside of the Skkim University Campus Network.

Library has made an arragement in association with PARICHAY of INFLIBNET Center Ahmedabad to access electronic resources off campus through INFED.

The INDIAN Access Management Federation (INFED) manages the trust between all the parties, including member institutions and publishers. It hosts database of authorized users at servers installed at the INFLIBNET Centre in case member colleges or universities do not have their own identity provider service. As such, when a user wants to access a subscribed resource, he / she is directed to log-in on to the Identity Provider Service (IDP) at the INFED. The IDP at the INFED, in turn, authenticate the users and pass requisite attributes about him / her to the Service Provider using associated user's database of institutions. In other words, the Service Provider receives all necessary user attributes from the INFED’s Identity Provider Service which it trusts. Attributes passed on by the IDP determines level of access a user gets from the Service Provider (publishers of e-resources).
