Library: SCGH Library Bookmarklet

Access to Library resources is controlled by a proxy string within the URL that carries information to publisher sites to authorise article downloads from subscribed resources.

Avoid having to link to references via the Library website to download articles. The following bookmarklets automatically attach the Library's proxy string to a URL, proving to a publisher that you have access rights.

If you're trying to access an article or eBook that requires a subscription to download eg. Medical Journal of Australia 

• click the SCGOPH Proxy bookmarklet in your list of Favourites
• login with your HE number and password if not on the SCGOPH network
• where SCGOPH Library has a subscription you will be able to access the article

This will work for most sites, however, authentication is sometimes more complex and you will need to access via the Library's website.
