What is EZproxy?
The web proxy server known as EZproxy allows eligible users—students, faculty, and staff—to gain remote access to the university's online resources from anywhere on the planet. Utilizing EZproxy ensures that you can reach these resources just as easily as if you were on campus, providing you with the information you require at all times, be it while studying at your residence, doing research in a cozy café, or venturing to foreign countries.
Why use EZproxy?
Licensing agreements with publishers and content providers often restrict the university's electronic resources to on-campus access only. EZproxy enables you to access these resources from off-campus locations by verifying your university login details and creating the appearance that your request is coming from an on-campus IP address.
