Off-Campus Access

Please see New Users & FAQs pages first if you are a new HWCOM student or faculty.

(a) On-campus

Your current Panther ID card is issued when you are hired or enrolled in a class at FIU.
Activate your library account using the barcode number on the back of your Panther ID card by either contacting Green Library Circulation Desk at 305-348-2451 or online.
Identify the e-resource that you would like to access.
If prompted, enter your 14-digit barcode number printed on the back of your Panther ID card. This is your library card number.
If you cannot log in, your library card number may need to be activated. Contact Green Library Circulation Desk at 305-348-2451 or activate the library card number online.
Most e-resources will be accessible without the log-in process when you are on campus.

(b) Off-campus (Remote) Access

Follow the same steps in the above section (a) On-Campus Access.
When prompted, enter your your 14-digit barcode number printed on the back of your Panther ID card. When accessing e-resources remotely, you must log-in.
After a successful log-in, if you still experience a problem, check the URL in your web browser.
If the URL contains "ezproxy.fiu.edu" (e.g. http://accessscience.com.ezproxy.fiu.edu/xyz.html), you are successfully connected to FIU E-Resources via the FIU Proxy Server.
The part, "ezproxy.fiu.edu", will be displayed only when you are accessing e-resources remotely outside the FIU campus.If you do not see ".ezproxy.fiu.edu" inside of your URL, go to https://login.ezproxy.fiu.edu/login, log-in with the 14-digit library card number, and then navigate to the e-resource that you would like to access in the same web browser using the same web browser.
Do NOT use any bookmarks that you have previously created in your browser as it may cause losing your connection to the FIU Proxy server.

If you have a current Panther ID card and activated the library card but are still unable to access e-resources, take the following steps.
First, check if your Panther ID card has not expired. If so, you will need a current Panther ID card.
Second, see if you can log in to your library account here.
If not, you will need to activate your library card. See section (a) above to find out how you can do so.
Third, make sure to deactivate any proxy configuration settings you may have made in your browser's preferences/options files.
Fourth, be sure that your browser software has been allowed to accept "cookies" in your browser's preferences/options settings.Report Problems
