Retiring EZproxy for Access to Library Electronic Resources

In January 2025, Tufts Libraries introduced OpenAthens, a more secure authentication system for accessing library resources. To support this transition, EZproxy links have remained active. However, EZproxy will be retired on January 7, 2026. After that date, any EZproxy links will no longer function.

What You Need to Do

To ensure continued access to library resources, please update any existing EZproxy links in:

• Canvas syllabi, modules, and course pages (current and past courses)

• Course webpages

• Citation managers (e.g., EndNote, Zotero)

• Personal bookmarks in browsers

Get Help Updating Your Links

• Use the EZproxy Link Transformer to quickly convert your links to OpenAthens-compatible versions.

• Join one of our weekly drop-in support sessions offered throughout the Fall 2025 semester. View session dates and times, along with additional instructions and resources, at: EZproxy Link Migration Support Calendar.

By updating your links now, you’ll ensure uninterrupted access to library resources when EZproxy is retired.
