I would like to use the databases available on the KU Library’s website. How to do it?

The databases can be used:

• On the premises of the university

In order to use the databases available on the KU Library’s website, you just need to connect to the wireless network on your own device, or use a computer in one of the computer rooms found on KU’s premises.

• Outside the premises of the university

To use the databases, you will need to set up a connection with a proxy server. Instructions explaining the entire procedure step by step can be found below:
1.    Computers
2.    Mobile devices with the Android operating system
Please note that after setting up the connection with the proxy server, your Internet browsing experience will be limited. Only the database pages, the KU homepage, and the KU Library website will remain accessible to you.
Several of the databases that students may use are available only on the premises of the university. Therefore, please make sure that the database you wish to use outside the university actually is actually accessible this way.

I have set up a connection to the proxy server, but I still cannot use the databases. Why is that?
Once you have configured your connection to the proxy server, you still need to log in to it. You can do this using the same data you use to log in to the Virtual University system.
We would also like to remind you that after setting up the connection with the proxy server, your Internet browsing experience will be limited. Only the KU homepage, and the KU Library website, the database pages, the Virtual University system, the iKozminski platform, and the Google search engine will remain accessible to you. If you try to access any other page, the following message will appear:


 
 
This message does not imply no access to the database or a wrong configuration, but means that the connection to the site is blocked by the proxy server. Please make sure therefore if you are able to visit the homepage of Kozminski University (if it loads correctly).

You’re most welcome to contact us if you have any questions.
