Information Technology Services (ITS) at U-M suggests using Virtual Sites, if you are having problems connecting to Library or U-M resources. A "Virtual Site" is a remotely accessible computer that you connect to, which allows you to participate as if you are on campus. All current students, faculty and staff can use this free service.
