Using the proxy bookmarklet to access library materials from off campus

Have you ever been browsing the web and come across and article, but because you are off campus you are unable to access the full text? The proxy bookmarklet lets you reload a web page through the U-M Library's proxy server. If the page you are visiting is one that the library has a subscription for, then you should get immediate access to the resource once you've logged in with your uniqname and Kerberos password and have been verified to have a valid library account.

See this link for a quick video tutorial on how to set up the proxy bookmarklet:
