EZproxy

OLS provides remote authentication services for individual colleges' local electronic resources. We utilize the EZproxy software to do this.

Authentication

CUNY Login

Most users authenticate via CUNY Login. Patrons experiencing issues must contact their local IT help desk to ensure that their accounts reflect an active status at their home institution.

Local Login

Library users who are not maintained in CUNYfirst (e.g., Friends of the Library, affiliated high school students, etc.) authenticate via a local set of credentials. Please open a ticket with OLS Systems if you need to set this up for your OLS-hosted EZproxy instance.

Hosting by OLS

Please open a ticket with OLS Systems if you are interested in having OLS host your campus's EZproxy remote authentication solution.

At the bottom of this page is a listing of all CUNY Libraries that use central office EZproxy subscriptions.
