Why is there a special process for accessing library resources off-campus?
Most of the library’s subscription resources are restricted to users currently affiliated with Beloit college by publisher and vendor license agreements. This means that on-campus students, faculty, and staff are granted access to these resources via IP address verification. Off-Campus users must prove that they are affiliated with the college by logging into a proxy server called EZproxy. This log-in process is known as “authentication.”
I accessed a resource through the library, but the EZproxy log-in screen did not show up, what should I do?
In your browser’s address bar, check for ezproxy.beloit.edu somewhere within the URL. If it is not present, insert the following in front of the URL:
https://ezproxy.beloit.edu/login?url=
You should then be allowed to authenticate and access the the resource. If this process does not work, or if ezproxy.beloit.edu was already presnt in the URL, please contact library staff.
When I attempted to access a licensed resource from off-campus, an error message appeared. What should I do?
Please contact the library staff by sending an email to Libref@beloit.edu. If possible, please include a screenshot of the error screen as well as the name of the resource and information about how you tried to access the information (for example, through Moodle or the library catalog). We will look into the problem and work to provide access to the resource.
