Electronic Resources Help Guide: Accessing Resources Off-Campus

In order for publishers to recognize you as an authorized Davidson College user, you must have a Davidson College IP address or be coming through our proxy server. This will happen when you use library links through our catalog, Journal Finder, or the A-Z list. 

If you are not able to access a resource you believe we should have access to,

• look at the url you are using, does it include the following component?

  • ezproxy.lib.davidson.edu

• here is an example:

  • https://ezproxy.lib.davidson.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=nlebk&AN=1608136&site=ehost-live

• If you do not see these components, try adding this string to the beginning of the url you are using:
  • https://ezproxy.lib.davidson.edu/login?url=
  • for instance https://ezproxy.lib.davidson.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt32bbd4.35

The library proxy prefix will route any off-campus user to Davidson single-sign-in.
