It’s a turnkey service that extracts, enriches, and transforms complex data into simple visual dashboards, making it easy to better understand and communicate e-resource ROI.
Connect your users to library resources with a single sign-on
EZproxy provides your users with continuous access to e-resources without the hassle of remembering multiple passwords and usernames.
Simplify e-resource access
EZproxy remotely connects your users to the e-resources they need for school and research using their existing single sign-on credentials. EZproxy connects on their behalf with an authorized IP address so content providers permit access. You can configure it to grant access by groups to meet licensing needs and use it to support diverse curriculum since it connects to most content providers.
Make more informed decisions
EZproxy logs rich insights like who’s using what library resources, when, and from where, and some of these insights are included in monthly usage reports. You can get a more complete and meaningful view of e-resource impact with EZproxy Analytics, a turnkey service that manages, enriches, and visualizes your usage data. Its advanced analytics capabilities will inform collection management decisions.
Maintain privacy and security
EZproxy protects the identity of your users and puts you in control of their workflows to determine if and with whom any user data is shared. EZproxy also uses a robust and customizable set of security rules to detect and disable compromised single sign-on credentials before they can be used to exploit any systems or data, protecting your users and community from security threats.
Meet IT system requirements
EZproxy connects to most identity management systems and supports many different authentication schemes. EZproxy is also set up and managed by OCLC so IT teams can focus on other projects. We provide database stanza management, software and hardware management, SSL certificate management, and more. EZproxy's flexible service options meet both library and IT needs.
