To manually update a link, replace the old EZproxy prefix with the new one. For a detailed guide on how to do this, refer to the step-by-step tutorial below using a JSTOR link as an example. The same method applies to other links that use a proxy prefix.
- Locate the link that you would like to update
- Erase the first part of the Permalink URL. If your link is using our old prefix it will start with:
- https://scroll.lib.westfield.ma.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/26552375
- Replace the red bolded part of the link with the new EZproxy prefix provided in bolded green text below:
- https://westfieldstate.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
- Your new link with the updated URL should now look like:
- https://westfieldstate.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/26552375
- Save the changes in your document, PLATO, etc.
This option will work for many of the library's resources with several exceptions.
