University of Leicester Library Answers: Librarians

To make links to the Library's books, journals or databases that will work off campus, you need to add the Library's proxy server link to your link.

For example, to https://www.clinicalkey.com/#!/browse/book/3-s2.0-C20180021994

Add http://ezproxy.lib.le.ac.uk/login?url=

To make

http://ezproxy.lib.le.ac.uk/login?url=https://www.clinicalkey.com/#!/browse/book/3-s2.0-C20180021994

If your link looks like this:  

https://www-clinicalkey-com.ezproxy3.lib.le.ac.uk/#!/browse/book/3-s2.0-C20180021994

or this : 

https://www-clinicalkey-com.ezproxy4.lib.le.ac.uk/#!/browse/book/3-s2.0-C20180021994

edit it to make it more reliable:  

Step 1 – remove .ezproxy3.lib.le.ac.uk or .ezproxy4.lib.le.ac.uk including the initial full stop (period) to make: https://www-clinicalkey-com/#!/browse/book/3-s2.0-C20180021994

Step 2 - Replace any hyphens in the first part of the URL with full stops (periods) to make: https://www.clinicalkey.com/#!/browse/book/3-s2.0-C20180021994

Step 3 – Add the proxy link to make:  http://ezproxy.lib.le.ac.uk/login?url=https://www.clinicalkey.com/#!/browse/book/3-s2.0-C20180021994

For advice, or if a link you have made does not work, contact your Academic Librarian.
