L2 Voter Data: Need help? Off campus?

There are several ways to connect to library resources from off-campus.

1. Go to UC Library Search, Databases A-Z list, and other library websites to look up licensed (subscribed) resources. Links listed on these sites prompt users to login with CalNet.
2. To access licensed (subscribed) library resources found via non-UCB sites such as Google, Google Scholar, email links, Twitter, etc, you can add the libproxy bookmarklet to your browser's toolbar. Then, whenever you land on a licensed library resource, click on the libproxy bookmarklet to enable authentication.
3. You can also download the campus VPN (Virtual Private Network) client to access licensed resources.

The libproxy browser bookmarklet adds the library's libproxy prefix to a URL. When you are not on the campus network click on the bookmarklet to access licensed library resources that you've found via non-UCB sites such as Google, Google Scholar, email links, Twitter, etc.

To take advantage of libproxy you will need to make sure your browser is configured to:

• Allow pop-up windows.
• Accept third-party cookies.
• Enable javascript.

The browser bookmarklet can be added to iOS, Android and most browsers including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and IE.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Drag the libproxy UCB bookmarklet link below to your browser's toolbar.
2. OR right mouse click on the libproxy UCB bookmarklet link and select "Copy link address."
   • Place your cursor in your browser's toolbar.
   • Right mouse click and select "Paste."

3. libproxy UCB

4. Click on the bookmarklet after you land on a licensed resource that you've reached via a non-UCB site.
5. MAC USERS:
   • Chrome: It is not possible to install the libproxy bookmarklet in Chrome on some Mac operating systems (e.g., Mojave and High Sierra).  If you must use Chrome as your browser you will need to install an EZproxy browser extension. Search Google for "EZproxy extension." If you are prompted to define the proxy domain, type in https://libproxy.berkeley.edu
   • Safari: It is possible to install the libproxy bookmarklet in Safari if your Mac OS is Mojave or High Sierra. Please consider using Safari as your browser.
6. EDGE USERS:
   • It is not possible to install the libproxy bookmarklet in Edge. Please use IE, Chrome, or Firefox.
