What is EZproxy?
EZproxy is an effective web proxy server that empowers authorized users, including students, faculty, and staff, to connect remotely to the university's digital resources from any corner of the world. With EZproxy, accessing these resources is as seamless as if you were on campus, ensuring you always have the necessary information at hand, whether you're studying in the comfort of your home, delving into research at a coffee shop, or traversing international borders.
Why use EZproxy?
Due to licensing contracts with publishers and content providers, many of the university's electronic resources are only available for on-campus access. EZproxy allows you to access these resources remotely by confirming your university login information and making it seem as though your request is coming from an on-campus IP address.
