Although the Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library will close at 5 pm this Wednesday, December 23rd and reopen at 8:30 am on Monday, January 4, 2016 (for more details, see the building hours page [1]), Yale affiliates still have access to all of our electronic resources during winter recess. You can find Arts-specific databases on the Arts Databases page [2] and many others in the A-Z databases list [3]. Don't forget that you can also search for eJournals by title [4]. Many E-books can be accessed through Quicksearch [5], our new online search that combines Orbis and Morris records.

If you are traveling off-campus for the break, you'll need to connect to the Yale network via VPN to access these resources. There have been a few changes to this process since Multifactor Authentication (MFA) was implemented this semester. For help, see this guide to logging in to CAS from off-campus [6] and the Yale ITS page about Multifactor Authentication [7].
