Off-campus Access

USMA-issued laptops will have a VPN software client installed. When you are using the library website from a laptop connected through VPN, you will be able to access all resources as if you were physically at West Point.

• How to install and use VPN
• Please contact Goldcoats or your DCO if you need assistance with the VPN software.

Library Accounts

• You do not need to sign in to use this system. 
• Westpoint.edu users will be authenticated through your O365 credentials, allowing single sign-on for your library account instead of needing a separate account. 
• What does the account give you? View current items checked out, requests, renewals, personalize search results, create RSS feeds, create email alerts, save records and save search queries.
