Nursing Distance Education Resources: Home
Welcome
The University at Buffalo's Abbott Library provides library services to students who are at off campus locations. This support is designed to assist distance education students in Nursing who attend classes remotely and access information resources from a non-campus location.
Some UB Libraries resources, including those marked UB Only, are provided for academic research to University at Buffalo faculty, students and staff only and require a login when accessed from off the UB computing network.
Off-campus users will be routed to the requested resource through the EZproxy software when a resource requires authentication. When prompted, enter your UBIT name and password.
