Digital Technologies self-help guide: CASA - Campus Activated Subscriber Access

Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA) enables you to more easily access licensed content via Google Scholar search results when you are off campus.

When you are on campus and you access content from an authorized on-campus location via a Google Scholar search results page, CASA notes your affiliation with UON and a cookie is placed on your device which records you as a UON-affiliated user.

CASA then enables continued access to the library’s journal and book holdings from home or when using a device not connected to the institution’s network.

Once your affiliation with UON is recorded from on-campus, you will experience seamless access to the library’s licensed content at home and on mobile devices.

Important: You will be required to periodically refresh your CASA affiliation by visiting Google Scholar from an on-campus location.
