ASCE Library: Quick Start Guide: Remote Access

Unlimited remote database access is "free" to all VDOT employees using their Virtual Library Card (also "free"). Don't have a Library Card? We can fix that!

1. Go to: http://v92004.eos-intl.net/V92004/OPAC/Login.aspx​ and select "Sign In."

2. From the sign in screen select  "Get a Library Card!" as shown below:

3. If you're pretty sure you already have a Library Card, but you can't remember your Library Card Password (which is different from your VDOT network password!), select "Password Reset" as shown above.

Next, fill-in all required fields (marked with the *) and click on the "Register" button:

NOTE: When filling out the form above please enter your VDOT e-mail address in both the "User ID" field and the "VDOT E-mail" field. When you click "Register" the library will receive your request via e-mail. We will verify your status and activate your account within 2-5 business days. To close the loop we'll send you a "Welcome!" e-mail message with documentation to help you get started.

When You are ON the VDOT network: You will not be prompted for your Library Card credentials. Simply select a resource from our A-Z list and you will get right in (unless you are using ASTM Compass, Knovel or Skillsoft Books, in which case you will be prompted for the appropriate user name/password). 

When you are OFF the VDOT network: When you try to access a subscription resource from a device off the VDOT network you will be prompted to verify your affiliation with VDOT through your Virtual Library Card user name (which is your VDOT e-mail address) and your Library Card password. The login screen looks like this:

Note: Be sure to enter your VDOT e-mail address as your user name and your Library Card password. Your VDOT network password will not work here!

Forgot your Library Card password?  You can now reset it yourself. Go to the Library Catalog and select the PASSWORD RESET link, shown below: 

Follow the screen prompts, entering your VDOT e-mail address and the captcha below it, below:

You will receive an e-mail to your VDOT account with a temporary password.
