Library Linking and Authentication Help Guide 2024

Ely Library updated its authentication server at the end of 2023. These tips will can help Faculty/Staff navigate the changes.

Option 1: Create a new link from the library's website

As of January 2, 2024, links generated by the library's AZ Database list, Journal Titles AZ, and from Ely Library's QuickSearch are using the new EZproxy configuration, and do not require additional modification.

In order to create a new link:

  1. Go to the AZ Databases list, Journal Titles A-Z or where you had originally found the resource.
  2. Conduct a search to find the resource again.
  3. Copy and paste the new Database URL/permalink into your course and/or course materials.
  4. Save the changes in your document, PLATO, etc.

This option will work for all resources, no exceptions.
