  2. Add the EZproxy prefix:  https://ezproxy.monroecc.edu/login?url=

Stable URL Example: 

https://ezproxy.monroecc.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5406/blacmusiresej.33.2.0227

  1. To add this proxied link to Brightspace go to Creating Persistent Links to Library Resources in Brightspace Courses page. It provides instructions on how to set-up a persistent link as a web link in a Brightspace Learning Module.
     
  2.  Check the link from a computer off-campus to make sure it works from outside the MCC campus network.
