How do I connect to UVa library resources from off-Grounds (via EZproxy)?

Answer: 

Access to UVa licensed resources such as online books, journals, and search tools (e.g. Ovid MEDLINE) is restricted to UVa faculty, staff, and students. To access these resources from outside UVa, you will need to use the UVa proxy server.

As of May 15, 2012, the University has implemented a new proxy method to provide off-Grounds access to library resources. The new proxy server will not require a separate account or browser configurations, and will work on mobile devices. To access library resources from off-Grounds, you will be prompted for a NetBadge login, which is the same system used to access your UVa e-mail.

Step by Step: 

To use the proxy to connect from off-Grounds:

  1. Start on a library page (either HSL or any UVa Library), then find the resource you need via one of our tools (e.g. PubMed, E-Journals, E-books).
  2. When prompted for Netbadge, log in with your UVa computing ID and a valid UVa password.
  3. Doesn't work? Contact us at 434-924-5444 or Ask a Librarian, or for 24/7 assistance, contact the ITS Help Desk at 434-924-4357.

  • For help with accessing restricted Library resources from outside the University, Ask a Librarian or at hslref@virginia.edu.
  • For additional help, check out the ITS proxy information page or contact the ITS Help Desk at 434-924-4357 for more information. Still having trouble? Try the instructions for the soon-to-be retired but still working Squid Proxy method.
  • Note to Health System VPN users: Many journals and databases cannot be accessed through the Health System VPN connection. Use EZproxy for full access to UVa Library resources from outside the University.
