Proxy Bookmarklet

Use this bookmarklet tool to help access online resources when you are off campus.

UNL Students, Faculty and Staff

Links to subscription resources found on the Libraries website automatically route through our proxy server. If you are a UNL student, faculty or staff member, this allows you to access online resources from off campus by logging in with your UNL credentials.

However, links to resources that someone sends you, or that you find through a Google search, may need to be rerouted through our proxy server for you to gain full-text access to the resource. If UNL Libraries subscribes to that resource, you can gain access by using this bookmarklet to reroute that resource through our proxy server. When you do this, you may be prompted to log in with your UNL credentials.
