As long as you connect from our database page, your connection to most databases is routed through the Duke Libraries Proxy Server. The proxy server will prompt you for your Duke Net ID and password and then connect you to the database without the need for any additional login.

However, some databases will require you to create separate usernames and passwords:

  • PitchBook
  • S&P Capital IQ
  • Mintel
  • WRDS and its data sets
  • LSEG Workspace
  • FactSet
  • Haver Analytics
  • Vault Career Intelligence
