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 faculty, staff, and students
with a valid UCHC ID
- University of Connecticut faculty, graduate
students, and some categories of undergraduate
students
- Community or Affliated 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).
If you are a Community Researcher, you must
have prior approval and your name must appear
on our Community Researcher list.
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.
- 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 or sent to you via email. Make sure your library
registration is up to date. Library expiration dates
vary depending on your patron group. A reminder
email is sent prior to your library registration
expiration date.
- Not a library patron
If you haven't registered to be a library patron,
come to the library circulation desk with your valid
UCHC ID or use the appropriate online form to get
a library barcode.
After been contacted with your updated or new
barcode information, please wait for 20 minutes before
using the barcode. If it is not working after 20 minutes,
please contact us.
When you are prompted by the Proxy Login Page, please
enter your 14-digit Library barcode (without spaces).
Check with our circulation department if you have
any questions at (860) 679-3808.
Proxy Forms
No need to fill out a form if
you are currently registered, and an eligible
patron, with UCHC library.
