Access the Chronicle & more using Remote Access EZProxy

You can access hundreds of online journals and news publications, including The Chronicle of Higher Education, O'Reilly for Higher Education, the New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, Variety magazine and the Oxford English Dictionary using the UW Library's EZProxy tool.

The easiest way to use this library service is to install a special bookmarklet in your web browser. Once you've installed the bookmarklet, you can click on it when visiting a site with a paywall to see if you can access it via UW Libraries. Learn how to install the remote access bookmarklet.

When you visit a website that requires authorization for full access, such as an article page on a journal site, simply click the bookmarklet. This action will redirect you to a login page where you can enter your NetID to gain access. To verify that the bookmarklet has worked, check the website's URL; it should now include "ezproxy.library.wisc.edu" somewhere in the address.
