Create a Proxied Link

Paste a URL from a resource you are accessing through the library while on campus to create a proxied link.  The proxied link will be able to be shared with others so they can retrieve the same article or e-book regardless of if they are on campus or somewhere else. 


Use this tool to create stable links to O'Reilly Books

 

1. Copy the URL from your O'Reilly book and paste it here:

2. Click the "Create link" button below:

3. Copy and use the resulting link

4. Clear the form to make another link

 

Share Proxied Links

When sharing library resources off-campus, it is necessary that the link include some proxy information so the website knows where your access is supposed to be coming from. Proxied links contain "ezproxy" and will prompt you to log in through DUO

To proxy any link, add this to the beginning of a url:
http://ezproxy.bgsu.edu/login?url=

Unproxied link to JSTOR:
