Faculty, students and staff of the University of Padua can access electronic resources (e-resources) via the University intranet (on-campus) and remote locations (off-campus).
Visitors with no formal relationship with the University of Padua can access only free or Open Access e-resources.
E-resources can be accessed remotely in two ways:
With this type of access, it is possible to authenticate via Single Sign-On (SSO) directly on the publisher's platform.
By this connection, publishers recognise the University of Padua users and provide access to their platforms.

By the end of 2025, Auth-proxy and Proxy Docile services will be gradually phased out and no longer maintained.
