EZproxy is coming November 1, 2017
On November 1, 2017, the Library is releasing EZproxy for off-campus access to licensed online resources. EZproxy allows users to connect to resources via CalNet sign-in or with their PIN / Cal 1 card number and without any configuration in a browser or device. No longer having to configure or install anything means that online resources will be available from any computer anywhere.
EZproxy will replace our current home-grown Library proxy service. However, the home-grown proxy will be around until Summer 2018.
To learn more about EZproxy see our guide at guides.lib.berkeley.edu/ezproxy.
