EZproxy Instructions

To connect with EZproxy:

1. Visit http://library.syr.edu and navigate the web site as usual.

   When you select a licensed resource (e.g., database, e-journal, e-book, etc.), you may be prompted to authenticate as a currently enrolled student, faculty, or staff member. EZproxy automatically determines whether login information is necessary.
   
   If prompted, please enter:

   • Enter your NetID and Password. Syracuse University affliated users can obtain a NetID online at http://cms.syr.edu/netid . For users who are affiliated with the library and cannot obtain a NetID enter your 10 digit SUID number (without spaces) as the NetID and enter your last name (all lowercase) as the password.
     

   Please note: If you are a Jr., Sr., II, III, IV, etc. or have a hyphenated last name and you are having trouble authenticating, please fill out the help request form below or call the E.S. Bird Library Circulation at (315) 443-5727 to verify how your last name appears in our database.
   
   Once authenticated, you will be automatically transferred to the resource you selected.

2. Please refer to Help for additional assistance.
