Available to alumni are free/Open Access e-Resources, and a selected list of subscribed/paid e-Resources from the library. All other licensed resources are only available on the New York Weill Cornell Medical Center network while visiting on campus.
The Library's resources, including all computers, are provided to support the work and research of the faculty, staff and students of the Weill Cornell Medical College, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and affiliated institutions. Please use computers in an appropriate, ethical, and lawful manner. Academic use has priority over recreational use. We reserve the right to restrict or refuse access and computer use if a patron does not comply with College policies.

How can I use a bookmarklet with EZproxy?
A bookmarklet allows you to connect to EZproxy without first going to the library's website. By using the remote access bookmarklet, you can log into EZproxy and identify yourself to the resource publisher as an authorized Weill Cornell user.
How to Install/Add the Bookmarklet
If you are having problems dragging the Bookmarlet above then try "Right Click" on your mouse for other options to save the bookmark.
Whom should I contact, if I have more questions about EZproxy?
Please contact the ITS Service Desk.
How do I connect to EZproxy from off-campus?
No set up is required. When you click on a library resource that requires EZproxy, you will be prompted to login. Your session will remain active for two hours. You can log out of EZproxy by quitting your browser.
Why am I able to access some e-resources without logging into EZproxy?
The library provides links to some full text journals and other resources that are freely available to anyone on the Internet, either for a limited time or permanently. If you click on a free resource on the library's website, you will not be prompted to login to EZproxy. We will only require you to login for subscribed/paid content.
Why is there no option to choose between Weill Cornell or NYP when using EZproxy?
If you don't see the page to select WCM or NYP, you need to click this link https://login.weill.cornell.edu/ds/ezproxy/clear-choice to clear the browser memory. Alternatively, you can clear your browser history/cache.
Why do I get a "hostname" error message?
A "hostname" error means that the resource has not yet been configured on the EZProxy server. In some cases, the publisher has changed their URL address and we need to update EZproxy. Please contact the ITS Service Desk with the following information:
Which resource(s) were you trying to access? Please copy and paste the page's URL or provide a screenshot.
How do I make my own EZproxy links? (e.g. articles, ebooks, Canvas, etc.)
If you want to create links that will pass through our EZproxy service, you must modify the URL by putting the EZproxy URL https://login.ezproxy.med.cornell.edu/login?url= in front of it.
For example: If your URL is https://clinicalkey.com, your new URL should look like this: https://login.ezproxy.med.cornell.edu/login?url=http://clinicalkey.com

ITS performs routine maintenance on college-wide servers, including EZproxy, at various times. Check your email or the ITS website for a maintenance notification. If you experience service problems at any other time, try restarting your browser or clearing your browser history/cache/cookies. You could also consider switching browsers. If you continue to experience problems, please contact the ITS Service Desk with the following information:
Which resource(s) are you trying to access? Please copy and paste the page's URL or provide a screenshot.
