Off-site Access to E-Resources


To utilize the proxy server, follow these steps:

  1. From the Search page on the Library's website choose the database or e-journal you want to access.

EZProxy bookmarklet

Follow the steps below to install our EZProxy bookmarklet for easy full-text access to our licensed material found via non-Library sites as Google Scholar:

  1. Create a bookmark to add to your browser's "favorites" toolbar.
  2. Select the bookmark and edit the Name and URL as follows:
    NAME: "AMNH Library Proxy"
    URL: javascript:void(location=""+location)
    Please note: The bookmarklet is compatible with most web browsers and platforms, as long as your bookmarks or favorites allow javascript.
  3. After that, any time you are off-site and on a page for an article you want to get, click "AMNH Library Proxy" from your favorites bar to see if you can get it. The bookmarklet will first take you to our Proxy login screen.  If the bookmarklet doesn't work for a particular article, it likely means either we don't subscribe or you might be trying to access the journal from a different source than an AMNH subscription. In those cases, to be certain we don't subscribe, you'll need to look up the journal title on our e-journal page.
