Q: How do I know if the library resource link that I’m using needs to be updated? 

A: Does your link have the following part in the url somewhere? proxy.hsl.ucdenver.edu  

Or did you get a login page that says “This website is being retired”? 

If your answer is yes to either one of the situations above, then you’ll need to go back to the library website or catalog and re-copy/paste the new link for that resources from there. Deadline is end of January. See the following questions if you use EndNote or Zotero – you need to update their settings with the provided instructions. 

Example of outdated proxied link: https://proxy.hsl.ucdenver.edu/login?url=https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&NEWS=n&CSC=y&PAGE=main&D=psar 

Q: Where do I go to get a new link for the resource, database, journal, etc. that I’m using? 

A: We’ve listed some direct links to the databases, the catalog, a link generator, and EndNote instructions below. If you’re unsure where to find a resource or need help updating links, just reach out to library staff via AskUs! 

• Visit the library website or A-Z Database List to find your new, updated database URLs. 

• Search the library catalog for articles or ebooks, grab the updated permalinks, and replace your publisher URLs. 

• Use the Library Link Generator to add the correct EZProxy url prefix to a library subscription URL to trigger off-campus authentication and full-text access. 

• If you use EndNote’s Find Full-Text tool, update your settings with the updated links in the EndNote Guide instructions. 

Q: If I’m using the browser extension for EndNote or Zotero, how do I update their settings so that it uses the new EZProxy server? 

A: If you use the Zotero browser extension, follow the Zotero support proxy set-up directions to replace the old proxy url with the new proxy url base: https://cuanschutz.idm.oclc.org/login?url= 

If you use the EndNote Click browser extension, start by following these steps to edit the proxy settings in the EndNote desktop software, then follow these steps to sync your desktop EndNote with your online EndNote account and then these steps to connect EndNote Click to your online EndNote account.
