Linking to ERes

In Summer 2004, the URL, or web address, of the ERes system was changed to enable proxying. Simply put, proxying allows members of the University community to access articles licensed by the libraries from off campus. Failure to use the proxied URL will disable access to most article links within Eres for users who are off campus.

Please use the addresses below when you create links, shortcuts, or bookmarks/favorites to ERes. Send questions to ERes Manager if you need assistance.

Links

 Copy and paste this HTML tag set to link to the ERes system: 
<a href="http://libproxy.albany.edu/login?url=http://eres.ulib.albany.edu/">Connect to ERes</a>
The tag set will look like this in your web page:
