UT/DLS: commonly asked questions


Q: How do I access <odesi> from off campus?

A: There are a number of different ways to access <odesi> from off campus:

  1. go to <http://odesi.ca> When you click the link, it presents you with a list of schools. Clicking on your school will allow you to login using your proxy server and then enter Nesstar webview.
  2. begin at <http://odesi.ca>, do a search for data and click on "View in odesi" for your chosen dataset. You should then be presented with a screen that allows you to select your university and login, then be passed back to odesi.
  3. login to your UTORid, then click go to <http://odesi.ca>
  4. begin at <http://odesi.ca> and click on "odesi repository (Nesstar)" in the left-hand sidebar, which plunks you directly into Nesstar.
