Off-campus access to University of Toronto Libraries licensed resources (my.access)

If you are a University of Toronto student, faculty or staff member and you use e-journals, article indexes, or other licensed web resources provided through the University of Toronto Libraries from an off-campus computer, you'll be asked to log in the first time during each web session that you use a licensed resource.

You may choose either your UTORid and password (offering single-sign on to UTORmail, Blackboard, and other UofT web services), or your library card/Tcard barcode and pin to log in.

Why do you have to log in if you are off campus? Under the terms of our agreements, we must restrict the use of e-journals and other licensed web resources to University of Toronto community members. Therefore, if you are using these resources off-campus, we will connect you to your resource via our my.access service for off-campus users. This identifies you (generically, and not individually) to the resource-provider as a member of our community. What does my.access mean for you as a user?

  • No separate accounts required. Just have your library card handy.
  • No browser configuration required.
  • Available anytime, on any computer and browser worldwide. Please be sure to close your browser when done.

More questions? Please see my.access FAQs.

Are you a University of Toronto alumni? UofT alumni can subscribe to a selection of 7,400 online journals, newspapers, and more from Proquest and Business Source Premier. For details, please see Digital Library for Alumni.
