What is it?

EZProxy is a remote access service. This remote access service:

• -Provides internet authentication for KFSHRC students, faculty and staff
• -Confirms that you are a valid KFSHRC member and enables access to most library resources
• -The remote access service will not permit access to resources only available in hospital libraries, as noted by the symbol

Who needs it?

Use the remote access service if any of situations below apply to you:

• -You are currently affiliated with KFSHRC but use a commercial Internet
• -You are currently affiliated with KFSHRC and need to access our resources from outside the Hospital.

Note: Some employers use security measures that restrict Internet access. If your employer is one of these, you may be unable to use the KFSHRC remote access service with your web browser. In most cases this can be remedied. Contact your system administrator.

What it does

The remote access server does two things:

• -Validates you as a staff of KFSHRC by use of an assigned name and password.
• -Acts as a gateway to resources that are licensed or otherwise restricted to KFSHRC.

How you use it

If you click on a link to a resource, you will get a Remote Access for KFSHRC Staff screen. You can use your Hospital username and password to login. Questions about remote access service can be emailed to Ask A Librarian

Please note that some resources are unavailable off-hospital access, either due to licensing terms or requiring different methods of access.
