1. Searching articles from the web
 When you
browse different sites for relevant articles pertaining to your
topic, you may wish to view the full-texts from the URL links displayed
in your search results.
The NUS Libraries have online subscriptions for a large number of the
references
retrieved. To access the full-texts of the required references, you will
have to install the Proxy Bookmarklet.
2. What is a Proxy Bookmarklet?
It is a bookmark that automatically prepends the
NUS Library proxy to the required URL link in your browser.
This allows you to view the URL as though you were on campus, giving you
access to materials licensed for use by NUS staff and students. If you are not authenticated, you
will be
prompted for your NUSNET ID and password.
3. How do I install the Proxy Bookmarklet in
my browser?
For Internet Explorer:
1) Right click on this link: <NUS Libraries Proxy Bookmarklet>.
2) Select "Add to Favorites".
3) If you wish to add to "Links", go to "Favourites" and drag and drop
the bookmarklet to "Links".

article is restricted.
