Access Library Resources Off Campus: EZProxy Bookmarklet Instructions: Home

The EZProxy bookmarklet is a quick tool that helps you access subscription-based articles, ebooks, and databases from off campus. If you’re on a publisher’s website and hit a paywall, you can click the bookmarklet to reload the page through UC Law SF’s proxy server—so you’ll be recognized as an authorized user and granted access.

Step 1: Make Sure Your Bookmarks Bar is Visible

• Chrome: Click the three-dot menu > Bookmarks > Show bookmarks bar
• Firefox: Click the menu > Bookmarks > Show Bookmarks toolbar
• Safari: Click View > Show Favorites Bar
• Edge: Click the menu > Favorites > Favorites Bar

Step 2: Add the Bookmarklet

Option A: Drag-and-Drop (Easiest)
Drag this link to your bookmarks bar:

Option B: Add Manually

1. Right-click your bookmarks bar and choose Add page or Add bookmark.
2. Name it something like UC Law SF EZProxy.
3. Paste the following code into the URL or “Location” field:

javascript:void((function(){location.href='https://uclawsf.idm.oclc.org/login?qurl=%27%20+%20encodeURIComponent(location.href);})());

1. Navigate to the article, database, or eBook page directly (e.g., from Google Scholar or a publisher site).
2. If you are blocked by a paywall, click the UC Law SF EZProxy bookmarklet on your bookmarks bar.
3. You’ll be prompted to log in with your UC Law SF credentials.
4. After logging in, the page will reload through the proxy server with full access (as long as UC Law SF subscribes).
