Remote Access to Databases

Current students, faculty and staff of East Central University have full access to all the library's online products when not on the ECU campus via a proxy server.  Using it, you will be able to search all of the databases to which the library subscribes using any ISP (Internet Service Provider). 

IMPORTANT! America Online and CompuServe users please click here for more information relating to those services.

You are no longer required to configure your browser before using the proxy server to access library resources.  Library databases and e-journals may be accessed from off-campus by simply clicking on the link.  However, in order for the proxy server to function correctly, this link must be somewhere on the library's website (www.ecok.edu/library) or catalog (library.ecok.edu).  Bookmarking a database or e-journal in your browser may not work.  

Clicking on a link will bring up the proxy server login screen.  Enter your last name, first name and your 6-digit ECU ID number. Then click on "SUBMIT".  After 10 minutes of inactivity, you will be prompted to re-enter your name and ID number.

If you should encounter any problems in using the proxy server or in accessing any of the library's databases or electronic journals, please feel free to contact the Linscheid Library Reference Desk at 580.559.5371 or .
