Library Support for Online Teaching: Off Campus Links

To access library subscription content off-campus, the links must be “proxied” which means users must be routed through a login screen where they enter their 1Hope username and password to show their Hope affiliation.

There are a couple of ways to do this. If you are direct linking to the article or ebook, make sure that the URL contains some version of the following: “ezproxy.hope.edu.” These links will ask students to log in when they are off-campus and most of our databases will offer you this link to copy. If you don’t see it you can manually add it to any link using our converter.

If you found the resource via Primo, you can also just provide the link to the record in Primo. The “View Online” green link
