Using Research Insight
Research Insight is available to all faculty, staff and students. The software is installed in both Saunders Computer labs
(BML and BCL). If you wish to have Research Insight installed onto your Saunders computer, please contact Technical Support and we'll be happy to install it.
Research Insight is restricted to RIT faculty, staff and students only! No other users may use this software.
Attention Off Campus Users!!!
Research Insight is only available when on campus as the databases are located on Saunders servers. If you are off campus, you can still use Research Insight by using the RIT VPN Client first. Once connected via the RIT VPN Client, you can then use Research Insight from off campus.
