NWU Student and Staff Access

On-campus access

• You must be a registered student/staff member of North-West University to access library databases.
• Access is given automatically via IP authentication using a combination of our EZproxy server and CAS (Central Authentication Service).
• Some of the e-journals are individual subscriptions that do not work via IP authentication and require a unique password e.g. LexisNexis. Please contact your faculty librarian if you are not authenticated via CAS.

Off-campus access

• You must be a registered student/staff member of the North-West University to access library databases from off-campus.
