As an important resource of the school, the library provides students with sufficient learning materials and services. However, it is also common to use the library outside school, such as during the winter and summer vacations and when writing papers after leaving school. In order to facilitate off-campus users, libraries generally provide off-campus access services. So, how to make use of the off-campus visit of the library?

First of all, according to different libraries, their off-campus access methods are also different. Generally speaking, large university libraries will set up an off-campus access portal on their official website, through which off-campus users can access the digital resource platform of the library. Compared with small school libraries, some digital resource platforms may require users to register accounts and fill in some personal information and school information, so that the library can verify the identity of users.

Secondly, after entering the digital resource platform, we need to pay attention to some details. First of all, we should carefully protect the personal account information to prevent the account from being used or leaked by others. Secondly, we need to master the operation method of the digital resource platform and skillfully use the retrieval and screening functions in order to quickly locate the information we need.

Finally, it should be noted that the digital resource platform provided by our library is aimed at the vast number of users, so some materials may be for reading or watching only, and downloading, copying or dissemination are not allowed. Once violations are found, the library will take corresponding measures.

To sum up, using off-campus access to the library requires mastering the following elements: understanding the off-campus access mode of the library, mastering the use of the digital resource platform, carefully protecting personal account information, and strictly abiding by the provisions of the digital resource platform. Only in this way can we make efficient use of library resources and improve academic level.
