How can I get access to journal and ethnographic film sites like JStor and Alexander Street when I’m not at the university?

First, if you are trying to access the database from off-campus you will need to use the FU VPN. In the case you haven’t done this yet, here is the website with instructions for your particular OS.

Then it works if you access the Alexander Street site THROUGH the FU Universitätsbibliothek site here.
