Intended Audience:
This article is for benefit of faculty, staff, and current students who would like to use Library resources from off campus.
Requirements:
In order to access and use EZProxy, you will need to have a current affiliation (i.e. student, faculty, staff) with the University with access to a campus computing account. You will also need to be off-campus, with an Internet connection and web browser (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
Accessing Library Databases
Before continuing: Faculty and staff, please note that University-owned computers using the Direct Access VPN will likely be unable to connect to library databases while off campus due to technical issues. As alternatives, you can utilize Labanywhere while off campus, use a computer without Direct Access, or use computers on campus.
- Navigate to the list of databases on the Thompson Library website at https://libguides.umflint.edu/library.
- For the Electronic Reserves login page visit http://libproxy.umflint.edu:2048/login.
- Enter your uniqname and current password at the authentication screen below.
- Click the Log In button to continue.
- The selected database should appear.
