Obtaining a Proxy Account

What you need:

  • Eligibility
    Remote access to our library’s resources via our proxy is available only to the following people:
    • UConn Health Center (UCHC) faculty, staff, and students
    • University of Connecticut faculty, graduate students, and some categories of undergraduate students
    • Community Faculty at UCHC with an official faculty appointment

    Your name must appear on a list of eligible people sent to our Access Services staff. If you are a Community Faculty, you must have a faculty appointment from the appropriate UCHC clinical department (e.g., orthopedics, family medicine etc.) and your name would then appear on one of these lists. Working with a community faculty person does not make you eligible. Unfortunately, our licensing agreements with publishers prevent us from making remote access to our online resources available to other library patrons even if you have a 14-digit barcode. We would be held liable for licensing violations if we were to expand remote access beyond these very strict guidelines. Check with our Access Services department if you have any question about eligibility at (860) 679-3808.

  • Valid UCHC ID
    See UCHC Public Safety to obtain or update the ID.
  • Library barcode on your UCHC ID
    If you haven't registered to be a library patron, come to the library circulation desk with your valid UCHC ID or use appropriate online form to get a library barcode.
    • Already a library patron
      If you've already registered with the library, you should have the barcode on the back of your UCHC ID (Figure 1). Make sure your library registration and UCHC badge are up to date. Library expiration dates vary depending on your patron group.
    • The proxy server Username and Password will both be your 14-digit barcode number.
    • Not a library patron
      Please allow at least three business days to get your account set up.
    • Check with our circulation department if you have any questions at (860) 679-3808.
