TUG Joint Program E-resource Access

E-resource access for Laurier students who are part of a joint program with the University of Guelph or the University of Waterloo.

Wilfrid Laurier students and faculty members in joint programs with the University of Waterloo or University of Guelph may on occasion need to access licensed resources at partner institutions. In collaboration with Waterloo and Guelph, the Laurier Library has developed a process to facilitate authentication for joint program patrons. Please review the information below for details.

University of Guelph

Access to University of Guelph electronic resources are managed using an account that authenticates via a Laurier email address. Users will need to set a unique password when attempting to access Guelph's electronic resources for the first time, and will continue to use this password whenever access to Guelph's e-resources is required. Please follow the instructions below to set up a password.

1. First Time Users (Initial password setup)

Search the University of Guelph to find the electronic resource that you wish to access. Click on the resource, and you will be presented with Guelph's Off Campus Access login page. Using the login box shown below, select 'Click here to reset password'
