The University Libraries and Computing Services are happy to announce the
long-awaited proxy server, which enables Carnegie Mellon users to access
ALL of the university's licensed information databases remotely, i.e. from
computers that are *not* connected to the campus network.

For complete information, see "Proxy Server for Remote Users" at

_____________________
Many of the digital resources licensed by Carnegie Mellon University
Libraries are restricted to access by users who are physically located at
Carnegie Mellon computers. However, many Carnegie Mellon users are not on
campus, and many use their own Internet Service Provider. 

Carnegie Mellon University Libraries and Computing Services have worked
together to provide a proxy service to off-campus users of digital library
resources. This enables users to authenticate with their Carnegie Mellon
user ID and password. The server then forwards the user's requests to the
vendor from a Carnegie Mellon machine. Initial testing has shown this
method to work adequately for most databases. 

This service is only available to Carnegie Mellon University affiliates,
and therefore you must authenticate (reliably identify) yourself to the web
server. The method in place for doing this is the KWeb software. Your web
browser must have Java, JavaScript and Cookies enabled for authentication
to function, allowing you to access the proxy server using KWeb.
