EZproxy Instructions

To connect with EZproxy:

1. Visit http://library.syr.edu and navigate the web site as usual.

   When you select a licensed resource (e.g., database, e-journal, e-book, etc.), you may be prompted to authenticate as a currently enrolled student, faculty, or staff member. EZproxy automatically determines whether login information is necessary.
   
   Click for an example of the login screen.

   If prompted, please enter:

   • SUID #: 10 digit SU ID# without spaces or dashes (e.g., 1234567890)
   • Last Name: last name, lower case letters (e.g., izzard)
     
     

   Please note: If you are a Jr., Sr., II, III, IV, etc. or have a hyphenated last name and you are having trouble authenticating, please fill out the help request form below or call the E.S. Bird Library Circulation Desk at (315) 443-2415 to verify how your last name appears in our database.
   
   Once authenticated, you will be automatically transferred to the resource you selected.

2. Please refer to Help for additional assistance.
