New Link Generator

Have a link to a library electronic resource and want to ensure it works both on and off campus? Use our Proxy Link Generator!

It will add the proxy server's referring URL (https://uc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=) to the beginning of a link, ensuring off-campus access works correctly.

  • The link must be a stable, persistent link as opposed to a dynamic URL which includes session information (usually "session" or "sid" in the URL) that will expire and can't be reused.
  • Sites that have dynamic URLs usually have a link for a "permalink" or "jumpstart" URL.
  • You do not need to add the proxy to freely available sites or links that already contain https://uc.idm.oclc.org/login?url
