Librarian
Welcome!
Welcome! This guide is designed to help you locate sources related to visual and performing arts research at UCLA. Use the tabs along the left side to locate resources by discipline.
This guide was created in Summer 2020 by Library Student Research Assistant Stefanie Williams, an MLIS student in UCLA's Graduate School of Education & Information Studies.
Off-campus Access
The Library's online subscription resources can always be accessed from computers and wireless networks on campus. However, off-campus access is restricted to current UCLA, students, faculty, and staff who have set up their computer using one of the following methods.
- Virtual Private Networking (VPN)A program you can download and install, or use the built-in version on many computers or mobile devices. VPN software must be logged on manually before you access a restricted site, but works for all programs on your computer.
- Bruin OnLine Proxy ServerA browser setting which will automatically divert you to a UCLA logon page when you first access a restricted site.
Why get set up for off-campus access? How do I do it?
Here's how and why a few of your fellow Bruins got set up for off-campus access:

"I chose VPN for my mac because I need to be able to access the full text of articles on different browsers." - Natalie, Environmental Science

VPN on Windows with Michael
"I chose VPN because I like the security it provides and the control it gives me as a user to manually enable or disable it when I'm browsing online." - Michael, Public Affairs
