PURLS on their own do not allow the system to authenticate users. This means that your PURLS won't work when accessed from off-campus. To avoid having this happen you must add a special prefix to your PURL. To do this you can:

1) Use our EZproxy Link Generator to do the work for you.

2) OR add the following prefix to each PURL yourself: 

 https://ezproxy.library.ubc.ca/login?url=
  • This prefix will prompt students to log-in using their CWL before accessing the article, allowing the system to confirm that the user is a current UBC student, faculty or staff-member.
