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?
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.
