This tool reformats a link/URL to work from off-campus by adding the PCC Library's EZproxy prefix. It also updates old (pre-2024) off-campus links with our current EZProxy prefix.
Look at the URL you're sharing to a PCC Library database, or to a specific article/video within a database. It should start with https://pasadenacc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
If it doesn't, you need to update the URL for off-campus use. Use the tool below to make your URL off-campus friendly.
Example:
URLs that won't work off-campus:
https://www.jstor.org/stable/3299291
https://login.ezp.pasadena.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/3299291
Corrected URL after running it through the converter:
https://pasadenacc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/3299291
Contact librarian@pasadena.edu for assistance with linking to articles or publications in library databases.
Thanks to Jeff Karlsen at Sacramento City College for the original code for this tool!
