Why can’t I access library databases from off-campus if I have a WFU email address?

Access to subscription databases at ZSR Library is restricted to current Wake Forest University students, faculty, and staff. If you have a @wfu.edu email address but are not an active student, faculty, or staff member, you will not be able to log in through Primo or EZProxy—this is expected due to licensing restrictions set by database providers.

If you meet these criteria and need off-campus access, the best solution is to connect through the WFU VPN while searching.
