New January 2024 - A change has been made to the way you access SuperSearch from off-campus that greatly increases the number of articles and other library resources that you can find in it. If you are searching SuperSearch from off-campus you will now need to do one of the following after you type in your search terms and click enter: 

• Option 1: Login with your My Library Account. If you do not have a My Library Account, you will need to create one. The instructions for this can be found in the "My Library" Account guide.
• Option 2: Click on the “continue as guest” button. Once you click to view the full text of an item you will be prompted to login with your RU username and password. 
• Option 3: Use the campus VPN. Using the campus VPN will bypass the need to login with your My Library Account. However, it is not available for use on mobile devices.
