Electronic Resources Guide

This guide provides linking information for electronic resources..

EZproxy allows access to our resources for active/registered Davidson College students, faculty, and staff by logging in with their Davidson College credentials to access our owned and subscribed resources. If you are on campus or already logged into the Davidson system, this access will be seamless. Off campus, resources will only recognize Davidson College patrons when the unique library URL is applied that includes this prepend: https://login.proxy.048.nclive.org/login?url=

Below are some steps you can take on your own to ensure the links you are using and providing to others are correct.

Faculty

  • Ensure the links you are sharing to Davidson resources are coming directly from the library website. 
    • Leganto is the easiest and most accessible method to use. If you have questions on how to use Leganto or need help creating your list, contact library staff.
  • Use the “Permalink” option within the catalog or databases. 
  • Ensure the URL that you include in Moodle or other sharing platforms includes https://login.proxy.048.nclive.org/login?url= as the beginning.

Students

  • Use the library website to access resources for your research.
  • Use the “Permalink” option within the catalog or databases when saving for later access.
  • Sign-in to the library catalog before you begin your search. This allows you to save searches and create lists allowing you to easily find resources later and URLs will be automatically updated as changes are implemented in our systems.

 

Ensuring Off-Campus Access

How to Create Off-Campus Access Links for Library Resources

When resources are accessed from off campus, it needs to be through Davidson’s library proxy. Here’s how to make sure your Moodle and other sharing links work for everyone, everywhere.

  • Use the library website to access your resources and use the “share link” or “Permalink” option for links you want to include.
  • Look at the URL, does it include the following component?
    • https://login.proxy.048.nclive.org/login?url=https://www.oed.com
  • If you do not see that component, add this string to the beginning of the url you are using: https://login.proxy.048.nclive.org/login?url=

If your issue persists, use the Report a Problem form to contact library staff.
