Sharing Informit URL on LibGuide

To share the Informit URL with users or publish it on LibGuide, add the Ezproxy URL prefix to the Informit URL if there is no Ezproxy URL on the copied/selected Informit URL. This ensures that all Holmesglen authorised users can access the Informit platform via the EZproxy authentication, especially for off-campus access.

 

Ezproxy URL prefix: https://login.ezproxy.holmesglen.edu.au/login?url=

Example for sharing Informit URL - Link to individual collection:

A+ Education: https://login.ezproxy.holmesglen.edu.au/login?url=https://search.informit.org/?dbs=aeipt

Notes

Only the Staff Account (Staff Holmesglen email) has the issue of redirecting to the Home page where there is no Ezproxy on the URL for subsequent Informit webpages when navigating through the platform.

 

For all staff and students, they can get through the Ezproxy authentication and are able to access the Informit platform for both off-campus and on-campus access.
