The Faculty & Staff "Secure WebAccess System" provides remote, off campus, access to the Library's licensed research oriented resources such as databases and online journals. This resource is available to faculty and staff affiliated with the University of Texas, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Remote access is provided by a "SSL VPN" system which uses an RSA SecurID token to connect to M. D. Anderson's network over a high-speed internet connection.

Accounts must be requested through the ISARP Web site. When making the request, on the "Available Resources" list, select SSL VPN (Remote Access). If you need assistance please contact 4-INFO (713-794-4636). 4-INFO will provide you with information to request a VPN remote access account.
