EZ Proxy is an easy to setup and easy to maintain program for providing your users with remote access to web-based licensed databases. It is available for servers running Linux, Solaris, Windows NT 4.0 (Workstation and Server), Windows 2000 (all versions), and Windows XP Professional. It operates as an intermediary server between your users and your licensed databases. Your users connect to EZproxy, then it connects on their behalf to your licensed databases to obtain web pages and send them back to your users. Since EZproxy runs on a machine on your network, your database vendor sees the requests as coming from an IP address on your network, so it permits access. EZproxy has been successfully used with databases provided by Britannica, EBSCO, FirstSearch, IAC (Gale), Lexis-Nexis, Newsbank, Ovid, SilverPlatter, SIRS, Softline and UMI, along with many others.
