How do I connect to UVa library resources from off-Grounds on my iPad?

Answer

Answer: 

Access to UVa licensed resources such as online books, journals, and search tools (e.g. Ovid MEDLINE) is restricted to UVa faculty, staff, and students. To access these resources from outside UVa, you will need to use the UVa proxy server and log in via Netbadge.

Follow the instructions below to install the Moore Access mobile button for UVa-level access from Google, PubMed, or any non-UVa site on your iOS device.

Step by Step: 
Open these instructions in the browser of your iOS device.
  1. Copy the following URL by tapping and holding your finger on the text below, then select Copy.
    javascript:void(location.href=%22http://proxy1.library.virginia.edu/login?url=%22+location.href)
  2. Bookmark this instruction page by tapping the action arrow  at the right of the location bar, then tap Add Bookmark.
  3. Save the bookmark, named " Moore Access," to your iOS device's Bookmarks Bar (for button-like functionality) or Bookmarks folder if you prefer.
     
             
  4. Most important: edit the bookmark. You need to change the bookmark's URL to the text you copied in Step 2. Follow the steps below for your device:
     
    • Tap the Bookmarks button at the top of the screen 
    • Tap Edit
    • Locate the Moore Access bookmark you just saved, then tap it.
    • Tap the URL field of the bookmark (it begins with http:// ) then delete its contents. Hold your finger on the now empty URL field and select Paste when that option appears. The text you copied should now be in the URL field for your Moore Access bookmark
      javascript:void(location.href=%22http://proxy1.library.virginia.edu/login?url=%22+location.href)
    • Tap Done​

    • Navigate to the UVa-licensed resource you want to access, via Google or your search tool of choice.
    • Log in via Netbadge when prompted, and access the resource. Not eligible for Netbadge? See our EZproxy for Preceptors instructions.
    • Click the button you just installed in your bookmark folder.
    • Doesn't work? Check VIRGO to make sure UVa licenses the resource you wish to access. Still doesn't work? Ask a Librarian.
