A while ago I wrote a Google Toolbar button for redirecting the current page to the same page accessed through an EZproxy server. As I was missing this functionality in browsers without Google Toolbar (it’s still not available in Google Chrome), I realized that it’s a very simple thing to do with a bookmarklet. Here is the code:
javascript:window.location=location.protocol+'//'+location.hostname+'.ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu'+location.pathname+location.search+location.hash;
To make it work, copy the above code, and paste it as the URL in a bookmark. In all modern browsers, alternatively, you can just drag this link to the bookmarks bar:
In either case, make sure you edit the javascript code and replace ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu by your EZproxy server.
Once "ez" is in your bookmarks, clicking on the bookmark will have the same effect as clicking the ezproxy Google Toolbar button.
