Creating a Remotely Accessible Link for Restricted Library Resources

Access to restricted Columbia University Libraries resources such as databases, ejournals, and other commercial services is limited to Columbia network users. To provide remote access to Columbia affiliates, the Libraries operate a proxy server. When you connect to restricted resources through LibraryWeb or CLIO, you are automatically proxied as needed. For off-campus use, paste the resource URL into the provided form to generate a proxied, stable URLs for use beyond LibraryWeb and CLIO. This service requires a valid University Network ID (UNI).
