Using UW Library Databases from an off-site location through a proxy server


The University Library's web page for proxy service is at
http://www.library.wisc.edu/help/remote
However the instructions below also work
If you are not on campus, not dialing in through WiscWorld, and using Netscape 4.0 or higher:
  1. This URL will take you to the library's proxy server gateway to MathSciNet: Math Sci Net Proxy
  2. The next time you try to access MathSciNet using this URL it will ask for a logon ID and password.
  3. Your logon ID is your 11 digit number from your UW ID card. (Our older IDs only have 10 digits. If this is the case for you, add a zero to the right end of your number.)
  4. Your Password is your last name.
