Resources for Faculty and Teaching

An overview of library resources and services available in support of online course delivery.

Share Links (Proxy Prefix)

If you're sharing links to library databases, you'll want to be sure that your links will route students to be authenticated through their UNCSA credentials (otherwise, they will not be able to access subscribed resources off campus). To do so, be sure the links you share have the UNCSA ezproxy prefix in their URLs. 

Add the UNCSA EZ Proxy Prefix

Adding the UNCSA EZ Proxy prefix to a resource URL allows off-campus students to log in with their UNSCA email address and password to directly access the database content, and it gives on-campus students direct access.

Add the UNCSA EZ Proxy prefix in front of the permanent link:

https://login.proxy123.nclive.org/login?url=

Research Guides for Schools/Subjects

The Library has created research guides for each school and discipline that gather available resources (both electronic and print) relevant to each art practice:

We also provide subject guides for specialties within these fields as well as for research areas in High School and the Liberal Arts.

You can view the full subject list here.
