Proxy Server Bookmarklet
The proxy bookmarklet lets you reload a web page through the Purdue Library’s proxy server. If the page you are visiting is one that the library has a subscription for, and you’re presently off-campus, then you should get you immediate access to the resource once you’ve logged in with your BoilerKey authentication and have been verified to have a valid library account.
How Do You Add It?
- Drag this link to your bookmarks toolbar: Reload in Purdue Library Proxy Server
- Once you’ve added this bookmark to your web browser, selecting it will attempt to reload your current page through the the Purdue Library Proxy Server.
- If it’s a resource that your Purdue University affiliation gets you access, you’ll pass through a login screen and be granted access to it. Otherwise, you’ll get the same page you started with.
