chart Note: In some cases the article may be freely available on the web through an open access journal site, and therefore does not require the MCC Library proxy prefix be added in order to link to it from an off-campus location. The proxy prefix only applies to articles found in MCC Library subscription databases.
Add the Proxy Prefix for Off-Campus Access to Library Resources
In order for links to articles from library
subscription databases to work from off-campus locations, the Our proxy server address is: https://ezproxy.monroecc.edu/login?url= For example, if the persistent link provided by the library database is http://www.libddb.com/6789, you need to insert the MCC Library proxy server prefix in front of persistent link so it looks like this: https://ezproxy.monroecc.edu/login?url=http://www.libddb.com/6789 When a library user (currently enrolled students, faculty and staff) clicks on a proxied link from an off-campus location, they will first be prompted to sign-in through EZproxy in order to gain access to the full-text article. Signing-in to EZproxy Students should enter their MCC e-mail username and password when signing-in to EZproxy. Note: The username for EZproxy is just the first part of the e-mail address (e.g. jdoe001). The second part of the e-mail address @student.monroecc.edu is not required to sign-in to EZproxy. If students can't login, they should try resetting their password. Faculty and Staff should sign-in to EZproxy with the same username/password combination that is used for logging into your computer at MCC.
