I think this would be worth mentioning for my CMU fellows:
As you know we have campus-wide subscriptions to many web services, like the ACM Digital Library and Elsevier’s “ScienceDirect”. But if you are off-campus, then understandably you cannot take advantage of such subscriptions. There was a time when all you could do was to ssh into a campus machine followed by, say, a wget+scp dance. But these days you can also use the “WebVPN service“, which is I find to be a lot more convenient, and direct.
