EZProxy Bookmarklet
The EZProxy bookmarklet lets you reload a web page through the Thompson Library’s EZProxy server. If the page you are visiting is one that the library has a subscription for, and you're presently off-campus, then you should get you immediate access to the resource once you've logged in with your uniqname and LAN password.
How Do You Add It?
There's a different method for different browsers:
| Firefox: | Right-click on the following link, then select the "Bookmark This Link" option: Reload with Thompson Library EZProxy | |
| Internet Explorer: | Right-click on this link Reload with Thompson Library EZProxy Select the "Add to Favorites..." option. You may be warned that you are adding a link which may be unsafe. While some links like this may be unsafe, we believe this one is safe. You can click whichever option is required to continue. | |
| Safari and Google Chrome: | Drag this link to your bookmarks toolbar: Reload with Thompson Library EZProxy | |
Once you've added this bookmark to your web browser, selecting it will attempt to reload your current page through the Thompson Library's EZProxy. If it's a resource that your UM-Flint affiliation gets you access, you'll pass through a login screen and be granted access to it. Otherwise, you'll get the same page you started with.
Please let us know how well the EZProxy bookmarklet works.
