Since LibGuides is set up to add the proxy for each resource individually, using the interface to add the proxy can save us a lot of time and future broken links. If the proxy ever changes in the future, we can add the change in the dashboard and it will retroactively change every link that has chosen "Yes" for Use Proxy.
If your link already has "https://ezproxy.shoreline.edu/?url=" at the beginning of the url, remove it before clicking the slider to the "yes" position in LibGuides. If the proxy has been embedded in the middle of the link as ".ezproxy.shoreline.edu" remove it from there also. Be sure to remove the period at the beginning.
