How can I set up access to the California Digital Library so that I can use the catalogs, periodical indexes, full-text journals, and reference works in the U.K.?
UC students on EAP can access the CDL abroad to supplement locally available resources. To access the CDL collections and resources, go to http://cdldir.ucop.edu/collections/ Access to some resources, such as Melvyl, is unrestricted. However, access to many resources such as journals, reference texts and databases, is restricted by license agreement to “authorized users”, including current UC students and UC faculty. To access these restricted resources from abroad (or from any non-UC computer), EAP students will need to set up a proxy server on the computer being used abroad. To set up a proxy server to access the CDL on a computer you are using abroad, please go to http://www.cdlib.org/hlp/directory/passwords.html and follow the link to instructions for your HOME UC campus (exact instructions vary by campus). Or go directly to your home campus library proxy server web page, listed below: UCB: http://proxy.lib.berkeley.edu/ UCD: http://www.lib.ucdavis.edu/info/computers/proxy/ UCI: ht
