Many of the resources we use on our LibGuides and in our Canvas classes are behind paywalls. The companies that own these resources have a reasonable expectation that we share their intellectual property with users named in our contracts. The solution they have offered is a little bit like a browser cookie. It creates a halfway point between our website and the resource website where the student or instructor must sign in to prove they are who they say they are. This solution is having a page that gives students, faculty, and staff a way to prove they are contractual users. If you used a link after May 2019, you may not need to fix your link. Links to library resources that were found prior to May 2019 may need to be changed.
