Link Directly to Online Articles, Ebooks, & More: Simple Steps

The Library uses EZproxy® software, which allows current UW-W students, faculty, and staff to access Library resources from off-campus, but restricts access by others, thereby helping Andersen Library comply with copyright restrictions and licensing agreements.

Examples with the proxy already included: 

Some databases will automatically prefix the proxy information onto the URL for you. It should look like this: 

https://libproxy.uww.edu:9443/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=ip,uid&db=bth&AN=142256723&site=ehost-live&scope=site

Other databases will slightly modify the DOI so that it includes some of our proxy information in it. This is also acceptable: http://dx.doi.org.libproxy.uww.edu:2048/10.4135/9781412953924 or, for another example, https://doi-org.libproxy.uww.edu:9443/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.06966

Examples without the proxy and how to fix it: 

1. URL: http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=ip,uid&db=a9h&AN=2043966&site=ehost-live&scope=site

   Even a short, permalink or "stable" URL like this one: https://www.jstor.org/stable/90000611 still needs to have the proxy added.

2. ADD to the beginning of the URL: https://libproxy.uww.edu:9443/login?url=

3. USE: https://libproxy.uww.edu:9443/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=ip,uid&db=a9h&AN=2043966&site=ehost-live&scope=site
   Or, on a short/stable URL: https://libproxy.uww.edu:9443/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/90000611

4. TYPE: the title of the reading, other citation information, and the updated URL into the desired page in Canvas, email, or wherever you want to use it.
