1. Why use it?
With this bookmarklet you
can directly access any paper from any
journal for which the BI Library enjoys
online subscription. Even if you are
off-campus, you need not go through the BI
Library website each time you require to access
papers of your choice.
Visit the journal website
directly and simply click on the bookmark. That's it!
2. How does it
work?
On clicking this
bookmark, the Bose
Institute Library proxy is automatically added to the URL
in your browser at the right place. This
implies you can view subscribed journals anywhere,
just as you do on campus.
Please note that you might be asked for
your ID and password, if you are not
authenticated.
Once authenticated, you should not be
asked for any further authentication at least not
until you quit your browser completely. This
means, you can open any number of tabs and windows
in the browser and just click on the "BI Proxy"
bookmark to access any paper of your choice that
we subscribe.
Please take care to refresh the page
if necessary.
3. How do
I install it in my browser?
For
Internet Explorer (IE):
- Right click on <BI
Proxy> and select "Add
to Favorites".
-
If you want to add to
"Links", go to
"Favourites" and drag and drop the bookmarklet to "Links".
For IE7 only:

drag the link to the "Links" toolbar.
- If you see
the messsage: "You are adding a favorite that
may not be safe. Do you want to continue?",
click "Yes".
- Does the
"Links" toolbar appear in your browser? If it
does not, go to View ->Toolbars menu of the
browser and enable it.
For Mozilla
Firefox:
- Right click on <BI
Proxy> and select "Bookmark This Link".
- Alternatively, you
can click and drag the link to the "Bookmarks"
toolbar.

press ctrl + B to make it
appear (ctrl+shift+B

name field of the bookmark, if required.
