Remote access to Library's E-Resources: Install Browser Bookmarklet

What is Bookmarklet?

The proxy bookmarklet automatically inserts the EdUHK Library's EZproxy prefix  (lib.eduhk.hk) into the URL of an article/e-book. When you are not on the campus network, simply click on it when you are on the vendor/publisher page that requires you to pay or login to view full text. The system checks if the required title is within the Library's subscription. If yes, the page reloads and subsequently provides you with the full text options.

Install Proxy Bookmarklet in the browser
