Library Staff Tech Guide

A guide for library staff technology training.

Embed a link for library resources

To share a library-subscribed resource with your students, please make sure the link is persistent and proxied. This can help students avoid login issues.

Add this proxy prefix before the persistent link, if the URL doesn't contain ezproxy.hccc.edu: 
https://ezproxy.hccc.edu/login?url=

For example, you'd like to share a journal article with link https://www.jstor.org/stable/23353501

Then the link to share will be https://ezproxy.hccc.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/23353501

Find more information, see our library guide Using Library Resources in Canvas.

Connect from Off-Campus (in details)?

1. Click any database link in library Databases A-Z page. For example, Academic Search Complete.

Each of those links contains our EZProxy prefix https://ezproxy.hccc.edu/login?url=.

It will trigger the authentication process and prompt you to log in with your HCCC credentials.

2. Log in with your HCCC credentials (the same username and password for HCCC email/portal page.) 

Your username is your HCCC email address.

Forgot your password? You can reset it on your own at https://myaccess.hccc.edu.

Still have an access issue? Please send an email from your HCCC email account to library@hccc.edu with the subject line "Access Problem".
