Proxy service enables library users to access commercially licensed electronic resources when connecting to the web from off campus (home or on the road). It applies to those resources that have been licensed for CCNY users only, such as ScienceDirect and or Grove Music. It also applies to those resources licensed for all of CUNY, such as Lexis-Nexis or Academic Search Premier.
