PROQUEST MANUAL LOGIN
The Manual logins are needed to access the search platform only for the remote access, off campus.Whether the users access the search platform from in campus (i.e. within the authorized IP addresses) or off campus (via the manual logins) the My Research area will still be accessible only by using a My Research id.

Case B - remote access,
1 – search phase- if they want to make searches, they try to reach the PQ website, they will see this:

In either case,the My Research id is not the same as the Manual Login.
The administrator creates and maintains the Manual Logins.
The user creates individually the My Research id, which is for the exclusive access of the personalized area:
