New Proxy Server for Access to Licensed Content
The Library implemented a new proxy server this summer. EZproxy extends our web-based licensed databases and e-journals to Knox students, faculty and staff working off-campus in a (mostly) seamless manner. To use Knox’s licensed databases or e-journals with EZproxy, you need do nothing but click on a link to a licensed resource from the Library’s web pages, and log into EZproxy with your Knox username and password. EZproxy will then pass you through to the database as if you were connected to the Knox network. There is no additional setup required in your browser in order to use EZproxy. Additionally, the links to e-journals that you discover in the new SFX link resolver will also be automatically proxied with EZproxy.
[Updated 9/24/07] If you have links on your web pages or Moodle site to library-licensed resources such as databases and articles in ejournals, and you want those links to go through the EZproxy, simply precede the link with the EZproxy URL (http://ezproxy.knox.edu:2048/login?url=) as in this example:
http://ezproxy.knox.edu:2048/login?url=http://www.earthscape.org/
For help with linking using EZproxy, please contact Laurie Sauer.
