A Library resource is asking me to login to the vendor site. Why is this happening?
Answer
Typically, when a library resource asks you to login to the vendor's website, the proxy url has not been added to the link, which allows students access when off-campus. The easiest way to correct this is to look at the url and determine if it begins with "http://cat.eac.edu/login?url=". If not, you may wish to add the proxy url to the front of the url in the url address bar. The url is listed below.
Proxy url: http://cat.eac.edu/login?url=
Example: http://cat.eac.edu/login?url=https://ebooks-infobase-com.cat.eac.edu/e_ViewEbook.aspx?ISBN=9780816066278
