Featured Resource: URSUS Proxy Bookmarklet
The UMS Libraries Proxy Bookmarklet allows patrons to quickly and easily access restricted journal articles and ebooks discovered on a publisher’s website while conducting research on the open Internet. When you are prompted for a login, or hit a paywall, the proxy bookmarklet will reload the page through the University’s proxy server and return you back to your journal site as an authenticated user, assuming your campus library has access to that particular resource.
