Over the next several months, NSIT and the Library will be moving to a
new proxy server for off-campus access to Library resources. The new proxy
server will work with all web browsers and will no longer require changes
to your browser settings.
For the time being, the Library recommends that you maintain your current
proxy settings. During the transition, there may be some electronic resources
that still require the use of the old proxy server. As a result, you may
be required to log in with your CNetID more than once for access to certain
electronic resources.
The Library will provide updates regarding the progress of this change to
the new proxy server. Please report any problems accessing electronic resources
to the Library.
