How to connect with EZproxy

...

Note

EZproxy use is required when working off campus. The only exception is if you are connecting to resources using your on-campus computer through a tool like Remote Desktop.

  • For SU faculty, students, and staff only.

  • Visit http://library.syr.edu and navigate the website as usual.

  • When you select a licensed resource (e.g., database, e-journal, e-book, etc.), you may be prompted to authenticate as a currently enrolled student, faculty, or staff member. EZproxy automatically determines whether login information is necessary.

  • If prompted, please enter:

Enter your NetID and Password. Syracuse University affiliated users can obtain a NetID online at http://its.syr.edu/netid.

  • Once authenticated, you will be automatically transferred to the resource you selected.
