Off-Campus Access to University of Auckland Library

If you are browsing in Firefox or Flock install the Zotero plug-in and enjoy proxy feature of  Zotero. All you need to do is redirect the webpage at one time and later on Zotero remembers the proxy settings. For example if you are accessing journal Nature change the URL  http://www.nature.com/ to  http://www.nature.com.ezproxy.auckland.ac.nz/ and later on  Zotero will do it for you. 

If you are using Chrome or Internet explorer then you should creat a bookmarklet using following URL field. Every time you click on the bookmarklet it will proxify your URL.

javascript:location.href=location.href.replace(/(http:\/\/.*?)\//,%22$1.ezproxy.auckland.ac.nz/%22)

OR

javascript:u=window.location.href;window.location.href='http://'+u.substring(7,u.indexOf('/',8))+'.ezproxy.auckland.ac.nz/'+u.substr(u.indexOf('/',8)+1);

OR

javascript:window.location=location.protocol+'//'+location.hostname+'.ezproxy.auckland.ac.nz'+location.pathname+location.search+location.hash;

 

To make a bookmarklet , copy the above code, and paste it into URL field of your browser and then you can just drag this link to the bookmarks bar.
