With EZProxy, a web proxy server, it is easy to access Swarthmore Libraries' resources from off-campus, whether at home, at a public library, or studying abroad.
Even on-campus, you have to use EZproxy to access e-books available through EBL (ProQuest's e-book library). Once you click on an e-book from the catalog, you'll be prompted to log in. There's more information about reading EBL books on the E-Books Collections & Readers research guide.
