Welcome to the world of learning at WPUNJ. We
realize that you have begun to fulfill one of your goals in pursuing
your graduate work. As you begin, keep in mind the faculty and staff are
available for questions and concerns you may have about your program. We
invite you to come to the Graduate Nursing Student Organization meetings
(GNSO) and meet other students in the program. We also have the Grad
Nurse Gazette which is published each semester to keep students informed
about happenings in the Department of Nursing. As you plan your courses,
meet new colleagues and learn new dimensions about nursing, your
experience as a graduate student should be exciting. Feel free to
contact Elaine, program assistant, or myself at 973-720-3511/3215 or
email
vuoncinoe@wpunj.edu ,
louiek@wpunj.edu if you have any questions.
This online orientation will introduce incoming
students to the vast resources and services available to graduate
students university-wide. Some of the featured topics include, library
resources, computer support, safety issues, health services, and
graduate student organizations,. You can obtain a copy of the Graduate
Nursing Student Handbook online at
www.wpunj.edu/cos/nursing/newsletter,
please review this for policies and procedures.

ID cards
http://www.wpunj.edu/studentcenter/idcardspage
You are expected to make arrangements to have your
photo taken for an identification card, to pick up the card after it is
processed and to carry it with you at all times. The card will enable
you to use all campus facilities and services and will identify you as
part of the University community. It will also entitle you to discounts
at student-sponsored events and is required by resident students for
gaining access to the residence hall. The card serves as your
identification if you are on a dining plan; also, you will need it to
borrow books from the library, use the
REC CENTER swimming pool and benefit from other campus services. ID
photos are generally taken during new student orientation and
registration, the first three weeks of each semester and upon special
request of Hospitality Services located in the Student Center.

Remote Access to the Cheng Library's Electronic Resources for Current
Students, Faculty and Staff
-
Access to the Library Catalog
The Cheng Library
Catalog is available to anyone with an Internet connection. No
special software or password is needed to access the catalog. The
Library's Web address is
www.wpunj.edu/library.
-
Access to Library Subscription Databases
The Library currently subscribes to approximately 90 databases and
10,000 electronic journals from commercial providers. A
complete list of databases and
e-journals is available from the Library Web site. These databases
include licenses that limit off-campus access to currently enrolled
students, faculty and staff. To ensure compliance with the terms of each
database license, off-campus users must be authenticated to gain entry
to the campus network. There are now several options for doing this:
-
On-Campus Access: If you are on campus, access to these
databases is available through computer terminals located in the
Library, in all campus computing labs, and in faculty/staff offices. All
residence hall rooms are also equipped with data ports wired to the
campus network (WPUNJnet). The Information Technology Services Web site
contains more information about
Residence Hall connectivity.
-
Easy Login: Students and faculty using their home
computers with a commercial Internet Service Provider (e.g., AOL, MSN,
etc.) can access library databases and e-journals. A complete directory
of databases is available from the "Find
an Article" link in the center of the Library's home page. When you
select a database or e-journal from one of these directories, you will
be taken to a "Database Remote Access" page. There, select "Student" or
"Faculty/Staff" and enter your WPUNJ email Username and Password. Click
on the "Proceed" button and you will be passed through to the opening
page of the database or e-journal you selected. If you cannot remember
your WPUNJ email Username, you can look it up in the online
Public Access Directory.
-
Dial-Up Access: Dial-Up connections are intended primarily
for local commuters since long distance telephone charges may apply. The
Information Technology Services Web site includes a page of instructions
for configuring dial-up connections for home computers equipped with the
Windows operating system. There are different instruction pages
for
students and
faculty/staff. Instruction & Research Technology maintains a page
with instructions for
configuring dial-up connections on
Macintosh home computers.
In all cases, the Username and Password you will use when configuring
your dial-up connection are the ones established for your WPUNJ email
account.
-
Virtual Private Network (VPN) Access: Individuals with
Windows98/ME/XP/NT/2000 can also install Virtual Private Network (VPN)
software. This software allows you to use a commercial Internet Service
Provider of your choice to connect to the Internet from a local number
and then access WPUNJ for databases and e-journals. The software,
available on a CD-ROM, can be checked out from the Library Electronic
Resource Center. Installation instructions for students and faculty are
on the CD-ROM. The Kit is cataloged under the title "VPNKit" and the
call number is VPNKit. The Information Technology Services Web
site also maintains a page containing
information about the VPN service. If you encounter problems
installing, configuring, or using VPN, send email to
vpnhelp@wpunj.edu.
