What's New: New Off-Campus Access Service

The Libraries have implemented a new proxy service, which makes off-campus access much easier for you.

If you are off-campus, you will be routed to the logon screen when you click on databases, ejournals, or other resources which require proxy access. If you're on-campus, you'll just be connected to the resource you clicked on, as usual.

Proxy Server Login for Off-Campus Access

The new proxy service login uses your WU ID number and the password you use to log on to the public computers in the Libraries. You also use this password for ILLiad. Password info.

If you access library resources from off-campus frequently, you can bookmark the Proxy Server Login page above in your web browser, and start from that logon, if you wish. When you start from that URL (rather than clicking on a URL in the website or in Find it!, etc.), you'll be directed to the Library homepage after logging in. You'll know you are 'proxied' when you see 'libproxy.wustl.edu' in the first part of the URL in your browser's address bar. If you type in a new URL in the browser’s address box you will leave the proxy service.
