IEEE has launched a new Remote Access tool for our customers, via Google CASA (Campus Activated Subscriber Access). Google CASA is an enhancement that improves the authentication for off-campus users of Google Scholar. Google CASA is free and is automatically enabled for all customers that participate in Google Scholar Subscriber Links program.

How does CASA Work?

• Step 1: A user must initiate CASA while on-campus and authenticated via IP or remotely connected to the campus network using VPN.
• Step 2: The user would then visit Google Scholar and then Google automatically creates an affiliation between that user and their institution.
• Step 3: The user would find an IEEE article through Google Scholar and click the link to IEEE Xplore. A cookie is added to their device which creates a seamless authentication flow between Google Scholar and IEEE Xplore.
• Step 4: Reactivate as needed. CASA will deactivate after 90 days if the user does not authenticate from their institutional IP through Google Scholar within that time frame.
