Distance Education  > Library Database Off Campus Login Instructions

Only WNC students, faculty and staff may access the library's electronic resources from off campus. If you click on any database link from off-campus, you will be asked to authenticate using your WNC netID and password. Faculty generally use their college email name and password.

All students are automatically given a WNC netID; activate it using the steps listed below. The user name usually consists of part of your last name, first initial, and some numbers.

The NSHE ID # is the ten digit number you use to access MyWNC.

To get a WNC NetID, follow these steps:

• Click on activate your account (even if you had an NetID before but have forgotten it).
• Follow the directions on the screen to get your NetID and set up a password.
• Your NetID usually includes part of your last name and first initial.

If you have forgotten your WNC NetID

• Follow the same procedures above for activating your account.

If you have forgotten your password

• If you have set up a password hint, click on get a new password.
• If you didn't set up an password hint, call one of the numbers listed below:

How do I use the EZ-Proxy from behind a firewall?

Many schools, companies and other organizations control access to the Internet via software that are called firewalls.  If you are having a difficult time accessing our databases and you believe that you may be behind a firewall, you may need to contact your information technology (IT) specialist and ask if the company is using a firewall.

WNC Library's EZ-Proxy server is located at http://ezproxy.wnc.edu:2048/. Therefore port 2048 will need to be set to both send and receive TCP connections.

More information on troubleshooting firewalls...

For additional login support, contact the librarians at (775) 445-3227.
