Off-campus access to the library's electronic resources is provided to all INSEAD members with a valid network password when they are not located on either the Asia or Europe campus.
The library catalogue, the electronic journals and most of the databases can be searched from off-campus. Only 3 databases are not available remotely: Bloomberg, Datastream and SDC Platinum.
All you need is a computer connected to the Internet and a browser. VPN is not required nor recommended as it slows access and is more complicated.
If you are connected to VPN, please log out of VPN to access the library's electronic resources.
