Off-Campus Access

EZproxy extension

The EZProxy Redirect extension helps you proxy any website or page that you access via a general search engine (e.g., Google), and makes accessible any licensed resources to you. When you perform a remote search outside EZproxy (i.e., not through the library's Discovery  or the A-Z Databases list) or via a non-proxied URL, you may not be able to open the content of a database, even if the library has a license for online access.

How does it work?

The EZProxy Redirect extension automatically proxies the URL of any website that you are viewing. When you click on the extension, the browser will reload and proxy the page. You will then be prompted to log in to EZproxy with your ACG Network credentials .

If you see an error message indicating that you requested an unknown resource, this means that our institution does not have an online subscription to this resource.
