EZProxy simplifies remote ejournal access for Parkland residents & others

Parkland residents who also have UT Southwestern affiliation can access electronic journals from off-campus through EZProxy when using the Library’s Ejournals A-Z list. For Parkland residents, EZ Proxy is the only way to access the Library’s ejournals remotely.
In addition, UT Southwestern employees who do not have Virtual Private Network (VPN) may also use EZProxy for remote ejournal access through the Ejournals A-Z list. (The remainder of the Library’s electronic resources, such as databases, may only be accessed from off-campus via VPN.) On-campus users and those using VPN from off-campus will continue to access ejournals in the usual way.
EZProxy does not require users to download software of to change their browser’s proxy settings. The EZProxy login screen appears automatically when you click on an ejournal from the Ejournals A-Z list.
You are invited to view the EZProxy tutorial on the Library’s Web site.
At the EZProxy login screen, Parkland residents enter their Novell login user name and password. Residents who do not know their Novell user name and password should contact the Parkland Help Desk at x25999, or from off-site, 214-590-5999.
UT Southwestern employees who do not use VPN should login with their UT Southwestern ID and password.
Parkland residents must have both a UT Southwestern affiliation and a Parkland ID to use EZ Proxy. Parkland employees without a UT Southwestern affiliation will not be able to access journals via EZProxy. Also, residents who are at Children’s Medical Center, VA Medical Center, or other off-campus locations cannot use EZProxy for remote access, unless they also have a UT Southwestern ID and password.
