Q: What is a proxy prefix?

The proxy prefix https://nelson.idm.oclc.org/login?url= allows Nelson University students, faculty, and staff to access subscription databases from off campus. In order to use a permanent link from off campus, make sure the proxy prefix is at the beginning of the permanent link. Many of our databases are set to automatically include the proxy prefix, but you should double-check to make sure. For example: https://www-jstor-org.nelson.idm.oclc.org.

Note: If you encounter a link that begins with https://ezproxy.sagu.edu, the link will no longer function. Please replace "ezproxy.sagu.edu" with "nelson.idm.oclc.org" and the link should function as expected.
