<p class="MsoNormal">This is how we use the A-Z list – by having the “Use Proxy” toggled to “Yes” for subscription resources that need authentication. And then for open access resources, we do not select “Yes,” since authentication is not needed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m curious about your use cases for “unproxying” links. The only thing I can think of is for building bibliographies/reference lists for published scholarship. For general internal-to-campus use, it wouldn’t hurt to leave the proxy in
the link – since access requires going through the proxy. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are considering the functionality in LibGuides to set our proxy information at the system-wide level, so that anytime we enter new assets, we'd put in non-proxied links and then select "Yes" for "Use Proxy?" <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We haven't used this method in the past - instead staff generally just copies and pastes URLs directly into Link URL. It's my impression that centralizing this might make it easier to manage links going forward if anything should change
with our proxy. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm curious how other folks using LibGuides manage this option of either centralizing proxy info or just including proxied links in entering assets. One concern I have is how to train staff on "unproxying" links - like if they are linking
to a proxied resource, will that be an annoying extra step to have to remember to take out the proxy info?<o:p></o:p></p>
