1. When you click an electronic resource on the library website, library catalog, or Canvas from off campus, the proxy will take you to a login page.
2. Enter your Doane username and password. (The same one you use to access Canvas, WebAdvisor, Gmail, etc.)
3. If you have trouble logging in, contact the Service Center at 402-826-8411 or help@doane.edu
Permalinks, also known as stable or persistent URLs, ensure you and your students can access resources no matter where you are. Permalinks to databases, articles, eBooks, and other resources include the Doane Library proxy prefix and can be shared through your syllabus, Canvas site, or other means. They also ensure only those with a current affiliation to Doane can access resources from off-campus.
An example of a URL for the database ProQuest Central which includes the proxy prefix in bold is:
http://proxyweb.doane.edu/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/central?accountid=28184
Permalinks for articles or eBooks are found in different places depending on the product. In EBSCO databases, the permalink is found by clicking the "Permalink" button at the right side of the item record screen (with the two chain-links icon).
In ProQuest databases, the permalink is found at the bottom of the Abstract/Details tab, under "Document URL."
Have a link to a library electronic resource and want to ensure it works both on and off campus? Use our Proxy Permalink Generator! It will add the proxy server's referring URL (http://proxyweb.doane.edu/login?url=) to the beginning of a link, ensuring off-campus access works correctly.
Please test the proxied link from off campus before sharing it. If you have trouble finding or creating a permalink, please don't hesitate to contact library@doane.edu for help!
