EZproxy at NCWC
If you are off-campus and attempt to use any of Pearsall Library's
electronic subscription resources, you will be prompted automatically
for your first and last name, and 6-digit birth date. This should work
for all currently-enrolled students, faculty, and
staff. For example,
|
First name and last name:
|
(no space between) Example: JohnSmith |
|
Please enter your birthdate:
|
(mmddyy) Example: 091587 |
Why do I have to log in?
Pearsall Library subscribes to dozens of expensive electronic services
such as article databases, and electronic journals. These are restricted
to NCWC students who are actively enrolled
in credit-hour classes, as well as faculty, and staff.
EZproxy is a way to notify a subscription article database that you are
a legitimate user when you are off-campus.

Troubleshooting
-
Many times a patron is denied
through the proxy because they are typing their username &
password incorrectly
-
Turn-off all pop-up blockers, this
includes pop-up blockers in Yahoo! and Google toolbars.
-
Clear your cache & restart
computer
-
Students attempting to log in need
to be currently enrolled in classes
- Are you trying to connect from work?
If you are connecting to NCWC databases from a corporation, hospital
campus, or government office, there may be a firewall in place which
prevents you from using EZproxy. Corporate sites often employ firewalls
and may be highly restrictive in what their employees can access. If a
corporate firewall prevents access, users will not be able to access
EZproxy. Most Internet Service Providers do not limit the areas their
users can access on the Internet, so home users do not tend to encounter
problems with firewalls.
- Try using Internet Explorer instead of
FireFox or Netscape browsers
