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 of http://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)
