If you are off campus, you will see this authentication  page  to login.  Use either your University of Regina uregina (e-mail) username and password,  or enter your last name and your Library barcode number (as it appears on your University of Regina photo ID card).  When you are authenticated as a valid Library client you be sent to Google Scholar.
