Quick Instructions:

Go to our articles web page at the BCTC LRC website. Click on a link for any BCTC proxy-accessible database, such as Academic Search Premier or Academic OneFile / InfoTrac.  When prompted at the BCTC EZproxy login page, input your username and password into the boxes. Your login and password are the same as the login and password you use for your KCTCS Peoplesoft e-mail access.

Students please note:

Your KCTCS Peoplesoft E-Mail Account must be fully activated in order for you to access the BCTC Proxy. If you are a new BCTC student, you will be able to access the proxy server via your username and password only after you activate your e-mail login and password information and as soon as your data has been uploaded into the Peoplesoft system. After you register as a BCTC student, use your Student ID number given to you at registration to activate your KCTCS Peoplesoft E-mail Account. Then, your information will be uploaded into BCTC's PeopleSoft system. Once you are fully in the system, you will be able to log into the BCTC EZproxy and you will have access to restricted library resources throughout your browser session.

Students registered for BCTC distant education classes via KYVU: 

If you are a KYVU distance education student, you may only use the BCTC proxy system to access BCTC e-resources if you are also registered as a BCTC student. Please contact the BCTC Student Records Office with any questions about your BCTC registration status. If you have further questions, please contact BCTC distance learning.

Additional Information:

1) You must be a current BCTC faculty, staff or student and have a valid, activated e-mail login and password.

2) You must have an Internet Service Provider (ISP), such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, and a computer with a modem or other appropriate hardware to access databases from home.

3) EZproxy is browser independent (i.e., any browser should work). However, EZproxy requires that you set your browser to accept all cookies, which is generally the default setting. If you have changed your default cookies setting in the past, click here for information on how to change your setting back to the original, default setting, so that it accepts all cookies.

4) You will only be able to access off-campus those electronic resources that have been licensed by BCTC and approved for proxy access. Some resources purchased by the BCTC libraries are not approved for proxy access and will only be accessible on the BCTC campuses, and some may be limited by other special ID and passwords. Check with the library if you need more information about whether a specific database is accessible from home or not.

5)The first time you try to access a proxy-restricted resource, you will see the BCTC EZproxy login page, with boxes for you to enter your username and password. For each browser session you will only be asked to enter your BCTC username and password that one time. Helpful hint: Use no spaces when entering your login and password information.

6) After you have successfully logged into the BCTC EZproxy, the journal database you are trying to access should appear, and you can begin searching for articles in the database.
