IP address authentication is the method of identifying users requesting access to vendor databases. It uses an organization’s outward facing IP addresses as a means to identify users coming from a subscribing institution and in turn authenticate access.

We route our links to IP authenticated e-resources via EZproxy. When you click on a link to one of these resources you will be redirected to the EZproxy login page where you login with your Queen’s University Belfast  username and password.

When a user goes through EZproxy all the publisher sees is a Queen’s University Belfast IP.  

Queen’s University Belfast library users are encouraged to use Queen's University Belfast Library as a starting point to locate resources for study and research.
