In order for publishers to recognize you as an authorized MIT user, you must have an MIT IP address or be coming through our proxy server. If you’re on an MIT wireless network, make sure you’re connected to “MIT Secure.” A few resources require you to come through the proxy server even when on-campus. This can be done by going through the Barton Catalog, Vera, using the “get” URLs (found in Vera), LibX, or manually inserting the proxy string. See: Connect on and off-campus for more information.

Even though MIT may have a subscription to a journal online, it doesn’t mean we have access to all issues. Check the coverage dates for the journal in the Barton Catalog or Vera. If we don’t subscribe to the issue you need online, check Barton for print issues. If we don’t own it in print, you may request the article via Interlibrary Borrowing. If the coverage dates say we should have it but you can’t get it, let us know via Ask Us.

Only current members of the MIT community may access our paid electronic resources from off-campus. Resource vendors impose license restrictions which prevent us from offering off-campus access to anyone outside the immediate MIT community.

Alumni and non-MIT users may come to campus and access many of these resources from our visitor computers.

Review the information found on the Touchstone sign-on page for your BartonPlus folder.

If you’re still having problems with BartonPlus, please report the issue via Ask Us.
