Off-site Proxy
The Off-site Proxy provides an easy way to access a large number of electronic library resources when you are working away from UoB sites. It has the significant advantage of allowing your computer to connect to resources as though you were working on-site. The proxy also provides access to some internal-only web pages (these typically have /safe/ or /uobonly/ in the address).
Once connected with the proxy, search for electronic library resources using MetaLib or eJournals catalogue. See electronic information sources for more details.
