What is EZproxy?
EZproxy serves as a web proxy server that allows authorized individuals (students, faculty, and staff members) to connect to the university's digital resources from any location across the globe. With the help of EZproxy, users can access these materials in the same way they would on campus, guaranteeing the availability of crucial information whenever needed, be it studying at home, researching at a café, or journeying overseas.
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.
