Why am I not authorized to use EZproxy?

Most of the library's electronic resources are governed by license agreements between Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) and publishers. Our authorized users are current faculty, students, staff and NYP-Weill Cornell residents/fellows.  After January 9, 2017, WebVPN/VPN will no longer provide remote access to library resources, but will redirect you to EZproxy.

If you are an authorized user and unable to login to EZproxy, please contact the ITS Service Desk with the following information: 

  • Which resource(s) are you trying to access?

  • Where are you physically located? (e.g., Lower Manhattan, NYP-Queens, at home, etc.)

  • What is your current status with WCM and/or NYP-Weill Cornell? (e.g., WCM Volunteer, NYP-WCM Resident/Fellow, student).

You may also request access to EZproxy using this form.

Can I still use VPN to access library resources?

Yes, but only until January 9, 2017. After that, VPN will require you to re-authenticate with EZproxy to use library resources. See How to use EZproxy for additional information. 

NOTE: VPN Client enabled on mobile devices will continue to provide remote access to library content on mobile Apps.
