When not on the WIT Campus, community members may run into some issues with accessing our online resources such as, databases, journals, e-books, etc. Here are a few methods to help you get appropriate access:
*Please note: if you are accessing resources from off-campus WiFi, you may be prompted to enter your WIT username and password.
Method 1: Start from the Library Website
- Go to the Research Tab of the website and select "Online Resources" or follow the link below:
- Select the resource that would like to use from there and begin research!
Method 2: Proxy Copy & Paste
- Copy the following text: https://ezproxywit.flo.org/login?url=
- Connect directly to a library-subscribed resource from off-campus (e.g. type https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/ into your browser's location bar).
- Paste the text to the beginning of the URL in your browser (e.g. https://ezproxywit.flo.org/login?url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/)
Method 3: Proxy Bookmarklet
- Right-click and copy the link address below:
- In your web browser bookmark manager, add a new bookmark
- Paste the copied link into the bookmark address field
- We recommend naming it "Library Proxy Bookmarklet"
- Connect directly to a library-subscribed resource from off-campus (e.g. type https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/ into your browser's location bar).
- Click the bookmarklet to route your request through our proxy server (you should see our proxy prefix at the beginning of the URL).
Troubleshooting These Methods:
- The bookmarklet and proxy copy & paste only works for resources that the library owns or licenses.
- If you are having trouble, try accessing the resource starting from the Library's website.
- Reach out to Library Staff (circdesk@wit.edu or ref@wit.edu) for assistance
