If the bookmarklet doesn't work for you, there are several other ways to access licensed resources from off-campus by authenticating with your name.# and password:
Use the off-campus sign in through the library website for the most reliable way to access licensed resources from off-campus. Or, you can use the off-campus sign in directly in the OSU library catalog. You should only need to sign in once per session.
The Zotero browser plugin will autoproxy, providing you authenticated access to subscription materials. Information on installing and setting up Zotero can be found here.
Many publishers/vendors permit access directly from their website with OSU authentication. If the library subscribes to a resource and if the publisher/vendor provides direct access, you can use proxy authentication to access the resource. Place this string at the beginning of the vendor’s URL: http://proxy.lib.ohio-state.edu/login?url=http://[enter vendor’s URL here]. Example: http://proxy.lib.ohio-state.edu/login?url=http://www.scopus.com/home.url.
Please note that VPN authentication will not provide authentication for most library resources.
