Library Announces New Off-Campus Access to Resources

The Library is excited to announce that on Monday, May 12th, we will be “going live” with a new proxy server. This implementation was a collaborative project with OIT. Our goal is to provide our users with a seamless off-campus access solution to our resources. The new service is called EZproxy. More than 2,500 institutions in over 60 countries currently use EZproxy software. It is the industry leading, robust middleware solution for remote user authentication.


Some of the benefits include:

·        Connects to the LDAP authentication service which allows use of your CU user name and password.

·        Eliminates the need for browser configuration changes.

·        It allows the Library to collect use statistics that help us make collection decisions.

·        And more!


***Any links to library resources which you have saved from before will not work now.  You will need to save them again.   Links going through EZproxy must have https://horizon.clarkson.edu/login?url= attached to the beginning of the url. ***
