For mobile access to MCNY Library databases owned by EBSCO.
Linking To Library Resources
If you would like to directly link to an article or report found in a library database, your link MUST have 2 parts. If you use just the link provided by the database, your students will not be able to access the content from off campus.
First part: The library “proxy server”. This website is the gatekeeper that validates current MCNY students, faculty and staff for subscription database access. That link looks like this:https://ezproxy.mcny.edu/login?url=
After url= comes the second part: the link from the database. DO NOT USE the link in your browser’s address bar; this is unique to the search you did to find the article. Instead, find the “Share” or “Permalink” option.
Sometimes this will already include our proxy server; other times it won’t. If it does not, add https://ezproxy.mcny.edu/login?url= in front of it.
