Off-Campus Login When On Campus

Just a reminder about a change to EZProxy behavior that went live a few weeks ago.

An increasing number of users have asked about proxy problems and the phrasing usually goes something like this:

"I'm having trouble logging on for off-campus access. When I try to click the red "log in" button in the upper right corner on the library website, nothing seems to happen."
This is by design. If you attempt to use the proxy from an on-campus device you will NOT be logged into the proxy. In all the cases I've seen, the user is on campus and thus doesn't need to log into the proxy to access resources.

Thanks,
