How to Link to Library Resources

Off-Campus Access

Off campus access is authenticated through a web proxy server called EZproxy.  This service is required for all licensed electronic resources provided by the library.

 

How to connect with EZproxy:

  • For SUNY Broome faculty, students and staff only.

  • Visit https://sunybroome.info and navigate the website as usual.

  • When you select a licensed resource (e.g., database, e-journal, e-book), you may be prompted to authenticate as a currently enrolled student, faculty, or staff member.  

  • If prompted, please enter:

    • Your MyCollegeID and Password.  

  • Once authenticated, you will be automatically transferred to the resource you selected.

 

Troubleshooting:

  • Step 1: Verify that you are a currently enrolled SUNY Broome student, faculty, or staff member.

    • You can call the library Circulation Desk at 607-778-5020 to verify your status.

  • Step 2: When prompted to log in, enter your username and password.

    • If you are unable to locate your MyCollegeID or password, contact the helpdesk at helpdesk@sunybroome.edu or call ITS at 607-778-5011.

  • Step 3: Try a different browser.  Some resources may work differenently with different browsers and some errors can be resolved by trying another browser. 

  • Step 4: Delete history, cookies, and cache. Clearing the search history, cookies, and cache stored in your web browser can resolve some problems and often allow browsers to work more efficiently.

  • Step 5: Set your browser to accept cookies

  • Step 6: Javascript needs to be enabled for the proxy service to work.

  • Step 7: Ask us for help.
