Help! A link to a database article works on campus but doesn't work off campus

To use a link from off campus you need to insert the Library's proxy prefix immediately before the link.

For example, here is a link to an article in EBSCOhost:
http://search.epnet.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&an=15300600

This link will work on campus but will not work from off campus. To make the link work from off campus you need to add the following proxy prefix immediately before the link: http://ezproxy.lib.swin.edu.au/login?url=

Place the prefix immediately before the article link:
http://ezproxy.lib.swin.edu.au/login?url=http://search.epnet.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&an=15300600

The link will now work both on and off campus.

If you are off campus you will be prompted to log in. Instructions are on the login screen.
