OR

Touch the Favorite icon to the right of the Address box. Tap that icon, and you see the Add Bookmark window. The name of the Bookmark will be NUproxy.

Step 3: Edit the Bookmark

Change the bookmark URL to the text you copied in Step 1. Tap the URL field, delete everything in it, and paste the text you copied:

Using the bookmarklet

Clear the URL address box and start typing “NUproxy”. You will see a couple of NUproxy links open in the history dropdown as you type; select the one that starts with “javascript”. You will be redirected through the campus login page and will then be returned to the resource with full-text access. You may need to select the bookmarklet for each link, but you will only have to sign in the first time in your session.

If the library does not have a subscription to the resource, you will not be able to get access through the bookmarklet. Please contact us if you have a question about our subscriptions.
