Off Campus Access
Subscription Databases
As a student (or faculty/staff member) at SCC, you have access to all the library's subscription (fee-based) databases. These databases provide access to articles, e-books, and other information sources that are often not freely available online. To access these databases, you must go through the library's website.
EZ Proxy
EZ Proxy is a server that allows you to access the library's subscription (fee-based) databases from anywhere off-campus. You just need to know your MySolano username and password (the same username/password you use to register for classes). Please note the following:- EZproxy may time out after several minutes of inactivity, and you will have to re-log in.
- EZproxy requires cookies. Please set your browser to accept cookies from solano.edu.
Connecting to the library databases with EZ Proxy should be easy. From off campus, when you click on a library database link, you will be asked to log in using your MySolano log in (username/password). After a successful log in, the database will open.
Having trouble logging in?
- When MySolano is down, access to the databases will go down.
- Sometimes you simply need to clear your browser's cookies and search history before you try to log in.
- If you are using a firewall at home, you may need to configure your firewall settings.
If you continue to experience any problems logging in, please contact us.
