A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary between your users and the Internet so that you can ensure security and improve performance. You can enable authentication/access via proxy server in the ProQuest Administrator Module. If you don't know the proxy URL, check with your library administrator.

Note: The ProQuest Administrator Module is for authorized library/institution personnel only. Please contact technical support if you do not have an account set up, or if you forgot your login information.

Steps to add the proxy prefix:

1. Log into the ProQuest Admin Module https://0-admin-proquest-com.library.cairn.edu/
2. Click Authentication / Access button on the left side
3. Click the Proxy tab in the middle of the page https://0-admin-proquest-com.library.cairn.edu/proxytab
4. Enter your prefix in the forms below. This is based on a proxy prefix of proxy.schoolname.edu

EZProxy:    https://proxy.schoolname.edu:2048/login?url=   OR https://proxy.schoolname.edu/login?url= if the proxy does not require a port number

III WAM proxy:   https://0-search.proquest.com.proxy.schoolname.edu

if using another proxy service provider, please contact the provider for their recommended URL structure.
