EZproxy Now Available at the UU直播 Library

Published: 15 August 2011

EZproxy is now available to UU直播 Library users. EZproxy is a quick, easy, and convenient method to gain off-campus access to UU直播 Library subscription databases. Unlike the Virtual Private Network (VPN), it requires no prior computer or browser set-up. All users need to do is to login using their UU直播 username and password when prompted. Users will be asked to login only once per browser session.

To use EZproxy for accessing databases when off campus, use one of the library's online tools, such as the or , the , and . The easiest place to start is with the search options on the Library homepage.

EZproxy will not replace the UU直播 VPN as they serve different purposes: VPN, as part of the university IT infrastructure, will continue to support a broad range of academic activities requiring remote authentication. EZproxy, on the other hand, is a service provided by the Library for remote access to library-licensed content.

Satisfied VPN users can continue to use VPN exactly as they have in the past. Please note, EZproxy will not function when VPN is enabled.
