"Emergency" links to databases

Please save this file to your PC for future reference, or print it out ("landscape" works best).

This page lists the Internet addresses needed to reach the Library's resources in the event that the Library's Web server or EZproxy server is down.

For off-campus use:

  • If more than one URL is listed for a resource, try the "EZproxy" URL first.
  • If EZproxy does not work, try the "ILCSO" URL (if available) next.
  • If the ILCSO URL does not work, try the "Vendor" URL (if available) last, noting any special login instructions required.
  • Unless otherwise directed, all off-campus logins require your Library ID (and in some cases, your last name) to log in.

For on-campus use:

  • use the URL listed for EZproxy, but use only the part of the URL that comes after the prefix, "http://libweb.ben.edu/login?url="


If you have any questions, please call the Reference Desk at (630) 829-6057, or send e-mail to libref@ben.edu.
