Lane Library Bookmarklet

This proxy server bookmarklet gives you access to resources licensed by the library even when you're not coming from a Lane Library or a Stanford IP address. This bookmarklet ONLY works with resources Lane Library has licensed and configured to work with our proxy server.

While we'd like Lane Library to be your gateway to our licensed content, we recognize that links to books, articles and journals come from a variety of different sources (Google, your email, RSS reader, etc.).

When installed, it will look like your browser bookmark. At the page you would like to proxy, click the "Lane Library Bookmarklet" to invoke it. If Lane Library licenses that content, you'll get access as if you were on campus.

If you're not authenticated, you'll be prompted to log in using your SUNet ID, SID/Epic ID, or Stanford Children's ID.

If invoked on a resource we do not license and/or have not yet configured, you will see an error message:

The Lane proxy server cannot complete your request because this host has not been configured properly.

We make no attempt to configure our proxy server for every resource, only those we license and for which a Stanford IP address grants access.
