1. Accessing the Library from a non-Queen's computer
   1. Although the general library web site is available from off-campus, certain resources such as OVID databases and the Bates' Videos are only accessible from a Queen's computer. To access these library resources from a non-Queen's computer, you must use the web-based proxy. The web-based proxy works by simulating an on-campus connection to make it appear that you are accessing the resource from a Queen's computer when in fact you may be a home or at the hospital.

You may notice a bar at the top of the page below the address bar that says "Proxied URL" which indicates that the web-based proxy is enabled. You may now browse the library web site as if you are on a Queen's computer and access Queen's-only resources.
