Q: I am having problems accessing the Academy Library's electronic resources. Could this be due to me being behind the Defence Protected Network (DPN)?


A:

Yes, that is true.

UNSW Canberra is not part of Defence IT network.  If you work in the Department of Defence, you will not be able to access UNSW Canberra online services from your desktop, such as, MOODLE or SearchGateway (Library catalogue) due to the security restrictions on the DPN.

To use UNSW Canberra online services it is vital that you have reliable Internet access independent of the DPN, on a computer on which you can install software, throughout your period of study at UNSW Canberra.

The Academy Library does not provide DPN access.
