What is Proxy Server?

Most of the Library’s electronic resources(including databases, e-journals, and e-books) are accessible only within the UNIST campus network, as stipulated by licensing agreements with publishers and providers.

The Proxy Server is a system that allows authorized users to access these restricted resources from outside the campus network by authenticating their UNIST credentials.
Using the proxy server, you can access all subscribed e-resources from anywhere off campus.
