Accessing ACM/IEEE/Springer/etc... articles from off-campus.
In spite of strides towards open access, many conference and journal publications are locked behind a paywall. UB has subscriptions to many of these, so if you're on a campus network, you're good to go.
You have a few options.
- There may be publicly released versions of the document. Try searching Google Scholar or MSR Academic Search.
- You can connect to the campus network through VPN
- You can also connect to the specific publisher's website through the UB library gateway proxy. Take the server name part of the URL (e.g., the
www.acm.org
part ofhttp://www.acm.org/long/path/to/paper
) and add.gate.lib.buffalo.edu
to it (e.g.,http://www.acm.org.gate.lib.buff/long/path/to/paper
). You can find a boookmarklet and JS code to do this below.
Bookmarklet
javascript:window.location=(function(u){var v=u.split('://');var w=v[1].split('/');return v[0]+'://'+w[0].split('.').join('-')+'.gate.lib.buffalo.edu/'+w.slice(1).join('/');})(document.URL)
Firefox Setup
- Right click in your browser's bookmark's bar.
- Pick "Add Bookmark"
- Name the bookmark what you like.
- Copy the above javascript blob into the URL field.
- Hit Save
