Overview
Camosun Library subscribes to thousands of online journals, magazines, newspapers, ebooks, media, and other digital content. Access to these resources is restricted to current Camosun students and employees. When you log in to the Camosun network on campus, you should be able to access library eresources automatically.
EZproxy
To access library eresources off campus you will need to log in, or authenticate, via EZproxy using your Camosun domain account (also used for D2L, myCamosun, etc.).
When you select a link the library's Databases A-Z page, you should see the EZproxy login screen:
Enter your Camosun ID and password to connect to the resource.
Single Search
When you are off campus, you can begin searching Camosun Library's Single Search discovery tool in guest mode; however, you will need to log in to access the full text of articles, ebooks or other licensed content. Click the link on the yellow banner at the top of the screen that says, "Hello, Guest..." to log in via EZproxy.
