Electronic resources that are available for remote access are indicated by a “remote access” link and by the icon: Remote access. Click on this link to access the resource from off campus.

Most of the journals, ebooks and other materials listed in the Catalogue are open to remote consultation. 

For technical or legal reasons, some databases may not be accessed from beyond the Sciences Po campus. A “local access” link only will be displayed for these databases.
