79What is Remote Access?
- The ability to access and use digital
information from a location off-site from where
the information is physically located or more
specifically, the ability to access research
databases and other electronic information
sources from outside Seneca College. - Access to many of the electronic resources
provided by the Seneca Learning Commons is bound
by strict licensing agreements. The Seneca
College Learning Commons must ensure that
electronic resources are made available only to
Seneca College students, staff, faculty, and to
those located on site at a Seneca College campus. - For more information, check
- http//learningcommons.senecacollege.ca/ComputingH
elp/accessingResources.html
80How Do I Make a Link Remotely Accessible?
- (does not apply to DB and library catalogue
links) - Check your persistent link.
- If the link does not start with http//lcweb...
the link will not work away from the campus. - Prefix your current URL with the following
string
http//lcweb.senecac.on.ca2048/login?url
81Remote Access Troubleshooting
- Have you entered your learn account and password
correctly? - Which browser are you using? Use Internet
Explorer 5, Netscape Navigator 7 or Mozilla
Firefox - You need to disable your firewall temporarily to
access the links. - Are your browser cookies enables?
- Select the correct account type Seneca Student
(or Seneca Employee, for faculty and staff) - http//learningcommons.senecacollege.ca/ComputingH
elp/accessingResources.html
82I Dont Know if This Link is Persistent!
- Test the link! Email it to yourself and paste it
into a Web page. - Remember to check
- on-campus remote -may require prefix
http//lcweb.senecac.on.ca2048/login?url - various Web browsers (IE, NN, Firefox, Opera)
