Enhanced ICPSR Authentication Allows Off-Campus Downloads

Boston College ICPSR users can now download data from off-campus without using a proxy server. All you need to do is log on to the ICPSR Web site from a campus computer and either set up a MyData account or log on to your current account. Do this once at the beginning of the semester, and your account is validated for off-campus access for the next six months.

Please contact Barbara Mento:mento@bc.edu if you have any problems.
