Off-Campus Access

HS/HSL e-resources (databases, journals and books) are available to UMB faculty, staff and students. To access e-resources from off campus, a UMID and password are required. Read about the HS/HSL's policy on offsite access to electronically published materials.

Starting from the Library's Website (recommended)

Linking into library subscription e-resources requires a URL that will take you through a proxy server first to verify that you are an authorized user.

Start on the Library website.
When you click on a link to a journal, database, ebook, etc, the system will automatically prompt you to log in.
Enter your UMID and password.

Starting from Another Website

If you prefer to access full text via links directly sent to you (ex: Ovid eTOC email links), please use one of the approaches below:

Try the HS/HSL Proxy Button

Add the button to your browser's bookmark toolbar (see instructions below), and whenever you come across a journal you think you should be able to access, click the button to reload the page through the HS/HSL proxy. You will then be prompted for your UMID and password.

HS/HSL Proxy

Firefox:
Drag the button to the bookmarks toolbar or right click and select the "Bookmark This Link" option.

Chrome or Safari:
Drag the button to the bookmarks toolbar. If the bookmarks toolbar isn't visible, press Ctrl + Shift + B (in Chrome).

Internet Explorer:
Right click the button and choose the "Add to favorites..." option. You may get a warning about adding unsafe links. While it's good practice to be wary, we believe this link is safe.

Note: Reloading a page through the proxy won't give you access if it's a resource we don't subscribe to. Go to the Library's website for a complete list of journals, databases and books.

Build Your Own Link

Find the permanent URL for the journal, ebook, etc. (ex: Ovid eTOC email links). Note: please make sure you copy a permanent URL, not a session-specific URL.

Add the proxy server URL prefix to the front of the permanent URL. The proxy prefix is:
http://survey.hshsl.umaryland.edu/?url=

Copy and paste the final link into your address bar to test it. You will then be prompted for your UMID and password.

Note: Reloading a page through the proxy won't give you access if it's a resource we don't subscribe to. Go to the Library's website for a complete list of journals, databases and books.
