ProxyGU has been updated -- please see our Off-Campus Access Research Guide for the latest version.
When using Library resources off-campus, we recommend starting with the Library-provided link to the resource.
However, sometimes going through the Library isn't always possible or convenient. In these cases, an alternative is ProxyGU, a Javascript widget that automatically reloads your current page and directs you through the Library's proxy server.
To install, drag the link below to your Bookmarks toolbar in Chrome, Firefox, or Safari:
(You also must have Javascript enabled for the button to work. This is normally the case unless you have manually changed your Javascript setting in your browser.)
To use ProxyGU, simply go to a page you would like to view, then click the "Proxy GU" button in your Bookmarks menu. Your browser will be redirected through the Library's proxy server (possibly prompting you to log in with your NetID/password) and then should reload the page you are reading.
If you have problems, comments, or questions, feel free to contact the Electronic Resources & Serials Unit.
