A guide to resources for Modern Languages and Literature, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Introduction to This Guide

Welcome! The purpose of this research guide is to help you do research and find library materials. It is for students studying Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, and/or Korean. For additional resources by language, see the "additional resources" tabs.

Accessing Resources from Home

When you access library electronic resources from off-campus, you need to use one of the following methods. Using OneSearch will automatically prompt the EZProxy login.

1.  Campus VPN  (Recommended)

Setting up VPN (Virtual Private Network) on your personal computer allows students, faculty, and staff to access library resources from off-campus.

  • Download the VPN client 
  • Once VPN is installed on your computer, you turn it on by clicking the Connect button (shown below).
