This page contains information for students and faculty for using and accessing the library's electronic resources off campus, including authentication, understanding proxied links, and troubleshooting common errors encountered when attempting to access library resources remotely.
Should you encounter difficulties accessing library resources from off-campus, please contact the LC IT Department via email (itdept@lcuniversity.edu) or call them at 318-487-7200 during normal business hours: Monday - Thursday` 8:00 am - 5:00 pm; Friday 8:00 am - noon.
The library staff is unable to make changes to usernames or passwords.
Faculty may choose to embed links to library resources in course materials. These are typically generated within the library database by locating and using a permalink or permanent URL link or button. Proxied links should have a proxy prefix, which will direct users to the EZproxy login page for authentication. This prefix is "https://lcuniversity.idm.oclc.org/login?url=". Adding this prefix to freely accessible materials should not impact the link's functionality. However, not having the prefix attached to licensed materials will result in an error message and the inability to access the material.
