On Friday, June 2, remote access to licensed library content will be interrupted while BCTC udpates the EZproxy software on our server. Work will begin at 9 am and should be done by 11 am. During the period of downtime, we will need to use temporary workarounds for common tasks both on and off campus:
Access to Databases on Campus
- Go to our A-Z list of databases and right mouse click on the one you want to use; from the list of options you’ll see, select the one that will copy the link address
- Paste the URL in the browser and then remove the EZproxy prefix, the part of the URL that begins with http://remote.baruch.cuny.edu/login?url=
- After removing the EZproxy prefix from the URL, you can then safely navigate to the database (as long as you are on campus)
Off Campus Access to Databases
- Go to the list of databases and e-resources centrally purchased by CUNY and use the links there: http://www2.cuny.edu/libraries/e-resources/
- Once you select a database from this page, you’ll need to use your Baruch library number (AKA your “barcode”) to log in
Searching On or Off Campus for Books
- Either use OneSearch (select “Books + Articles + Videos” in our search bar) or use this unproxied URL for the library catalog: https://libsearch.cuny.edu./F?func=find-b-0&local_base=baruch
