Summer vacation is here which means that cadets and faculty are traveling, studying and researching all over the world.
Living in a Lexington apartment instead of Barracks?
Researching at an archive in Germany?
Still want access to all of our great databases?
You got it!
1st: Visit our Off-Post Access page for the full details.
2nd: Click on the Preston Library Off-Post Access link. You should be directed to a screen that looks like this:

3rd: Click the MetaFrame link at the bottom of the screen. (You’ll only have to download this plug-in the first time you connect from Off-Post.)
4th: In the box on the left. Log-In with your VMI email user name and password.
5th: Click on the Library Resources Web Page Icon. This opens a new Internet Explorer window where you’ll be able to search the database just like you were on Post.
Have a great summer!
And remember:
No matter where your research takes you, Preston Library’s always here to help!
If you have more questions just Ask A Librarian. We’re online most business days.
