Please note: Subscription-based electronic resources are available only to current CSUF students, faculty & staff.

EZ Proxy Authentication Process

When you access a subscription resource from off campus you will be prompted to authenticate. You will see a login screen that looks like the one below. If you are a valid CSUF student, faculty, or staff enter the same login information as you would use for the campus portal. After you authenticate your browser will be granted a cookie which will provide you access to resources for approximately 4 hours*.

All other users including Alumni Portal users do not have access to library subscription resources outside of the library building. The library has prepared a guide to free resources which is linked on the authentication page.

Proxy Authentication Screen

* Some items will force authentication even if you have already established credentials or are on campus due to copyright restrictions. Cookie expiration is subject to change at any time and you may be requested to re-authenticate at any time while using library resources.

Troubleshooting

To use EZ Proxy you must enable your browser to accept cookies.
