Remote Access for Electronic Resources
Solution 1: EZproxy
![Page 11: Upgrading the Happytown College Library System](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060107/554979c3b4c9056e598b5961/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How it Works…Centralizes authentication for a particular online
resource licensed by the University.
University purchases the license and allows anyone affiliated with our system to gain access to the resources.
EZproxy runs on a machine on your network so requests for database requests come from IP address on your network.
Affiliation is determined by possession of the Happytown Network ID assigned to students, faculty and staff.
