What is EZproxy?
As a web proxy server, EZproxy facilitates remote access to the university's online resources for approved users, such as students, faculty, and staff, from any part of the world. By using EZproxy, you can effortlessly obtain these resources in the same manner as on-campus access, making sure you have essential information at your disposal, whether you are learning from home, engaging in research at a café, or exploring foreign lands.
Why use EZproxy?
Many electronic resources from the university are available exclusively for on-campus access due to contractual obligations with publishers and content providers. EZproxy makes it possible for you to access these resources off-campus by confirming your university identification and presenting your request as though it were coming from an on-campus IP address.
