There are two ways to connect to library resources from off-campus using the new library proxy:

1. Links to online resources on library websites, such as UC Library Search, will allow you to login with CalNet directly.
2. To access library resources found via non-UCB sites, such as Google or Google Scholar, you can add the EZproxy bookmarklet to your browser. Then, whenever you land on a licensed library resource, select your EZproxy bookmarklet to enable CalNet login.

More information is on the EZproxy guide.

The campus VPN provides an alternate method for off-campus access.
