Access to Library resources is contolled by a 'proxy' string within the web address (URL). This proxy string carries information through to publisher sites that provides the authorisation to reach the full text of subscribed resources.
If you reach a subscription restricted (paywalled) online resource without going through the Library's links (and therefore without the proxy string) you will be blocked from the full content.
A bookmarklet automatically attaches the Library's proxy string to the URL, proving to a publisher that you have access rights.
How to install the bookmarklet
Internet Explorer
Firefox
Safari
Google Chrome
