EZproxy
Off-campus access is through EZproxy which uses links that have a prefix prepended to the front of the URL. Start your search from the library website or add the prefix to the front of a URL to check access on unproxied links. You will be prompted to authenticate using Yale CAS or Epic credentials.
To get a proxied link, add this prefix:
https://yale.idm.oclc.org/login?URL=
Example:
Unproxied: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama
Proxied: https://yale.idm.oclc.org/login?URL=https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama
VPN & DUO
Visit the ITS VPN service page for instructions on how to use the VPN for off-campus access. You’ll also need to download DUO – Multifactor Authentication.
For assistance, contact ITS HELP desk: 203-432-9000 or visit our Technology Support Service Center (located on the lower level of the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library).
