This guide was written for Dr. David Krause's FINA 4310 course, and the AIM program.

Below is complete list of databases relevant to finance.  But there's a list of Starting point databases too ... 

• Library Login:  This method (a proxy server) is quick and easy, and requires no setup.  But a few databases will not work with it, and it is less reliable when there is heavy internet traffic or a slow connection.
• VPN (virtual private network): The VPN requires you to download an app onto both your cell phone and your computer.  It is much more reliable during times of heavy internet traffic, and is well worth the necessary setup time. Outline of the steps required for the VPN:
  1. Find detailed VPN instructions here. Once there, click on "How do I start using GlobalProtect VPN and Duo?"
  2. Register for Duo Mobile. Two ways to do that: via an email from ITS (helpdesk@marquette.edu; you can email and ask for "the VPN registration invitation email"); or if off-campus, via Office365.
  3. Download the Duo Mobile app onto your cell phone. Allow push notifications for it.
  4. Download the GlobalProtect app onto your computer.
  5. Complete GlobalProtect setup on your computer. (See step 3 instructions under "How do I start Using GlobalProtect VPN and Duo?")
