Directing Links Through the Proxy Server

Question: How do I set up links to articles or other resources - on course webpages, in Telesis, or in ERes (electronic reserves) - so that they work from off-campus?

Answer: You need to format the links in a way that redirects them through the proxy server. If you don't do this, the links will work from on-campus, but not from off-campus.

Use this Link Generator to create your 'proxied' links:

• You do not need to do this for freely available sites (such as Google) or links that already begin with http://libproxy.wustl.edu....
• If you have addresses such as http://someaddress.com.libproxy.wustl.edu this will fix them for you.
• This tool requires javascript enabled in your browser to work.
