EZproxy: Browser bookmarklet

Information about EZproxy, and instructions for creating bookmarklets.

Instructions

A browser bookmarklet for EZproxy allows you to access licensed journals, databases and articles when you are off-campus.

When you are off-campus and you land on a licensed library resource, click on your EZproxy bookmarklet.  You will be prompted to authenticate via CalNet or PIN / Cal 1 card number. You will then be redirected to the EZproxied version of the site’s url.
