[Summer 2025 Update: If you install the Zotero Connector browser plugin, it comes with this same functionality so you don't need this bookmarklet.]
This "bookmarklet" helps you get off-campus access to library resources. Click the bookmark to reload the current page through the UPEI Proxy server. If you are off campus, this may give you access to a journal article or book, if we have licensed access.
This bookmarklet is a small bit of javascript that doesn't require you to install anything, just drag a link into your toolbar.
Drag the above link to your bookmarks toolbar.
Safari or Google Chrome
Click and drag this "via Proxy" link to your "Bookmarks" bar
Firefox
- Right click on this link: "via Proxy"
- select "Bookmark This Link" -OR-
- click and drag that link to your "Bookmarks" toolbar
Internet Explorer
- Right click on this link: "via Proxy"
- select "Add to Favorites" -OR-
- click and drag the link to your "Links" toolbar.
You might see a security alert that the "favorite may not be safe", although it is. Click "yes" to continue.
Notes:
- If the bookmarks toolbar is not visible in your browser, you can try to enable it under the View > Toolbars menu; in Chrome, try Ctl-Shift-B.
- The bookmarklet is compatible with most web browsers and platforms as long as your bookmarks or favorites allow javascript.
- You can also save the bookmarklet in your bookmarks folder instead of the toolbar.
