Easier access to library resources from home

Those accessing library databases from home or elsewhere off-campus will notice a change in how this process works. In the past, you were required to configure your web browser to work through the library proxy server.

Now, no configuration is needed: just click on links to library resources from the Gardner-Harvey Library site (http://www.mid.muohio.edu/library/) or The Learning Hub (http://www.lib.muohio.edu). A login prompt will appear. Enter your MU Unique ID and password, and you will be able to use the chosen library resource.

If you are still using the old proxy server, it will still be available for a while (but it is time to consider changing your settings and using the new method). If you have questions about this or other matters related to off-campus use of library resources, please contact us at the Library (7-3222; midref@lib.muohio.edu; IM: askghl) or see more information at http://www.lib.muohio.edu/proxy/.
