Library Authentication Login (off campus)

Off campus access to our magazine and newspaper databases is done through a proxy server. This server called Ezproxy, will allow our patrons to access our databases with a library card number and library password. Patrons must have an active Riverland library card.

How To Access Databases:

To access the database from off campus select the database you want to search from the Journals and Newspaper webpage.

You will be taken to an 'Login for Off Campus...' screen that will request the following:

Box 1. Your Username = Your library barcode (beginning with 20207)
Box 2. You Password = Your last name
Click on Login

Most browsers are configered to accept cookies by default and no action is required. If your cookies are not enabled, see instructions.

Proxy servers may not work if you try to access the sites from a location with a institutional firewall (such as from your place of employment). The product will work on your home computer if you use a personal firewall product (i.e. MacAfee or Symantiec), but you may have to change the security level. Contact your internet service provider or firewall manufacturer for assistance.

Last names with apostrophes should be typed without apostrophy, i.e., O'Douglas would be entered as odouglas.

Tips:
Once Ezproxy has has been accessed, the user can move from one database to another without signing in again so long as the search does not 'time out.'
If using Firefox browser and login fails, try Internet Explorer, sometimes it works better.
