Turn Off Zotero Proxy Redirect

Zotero's browser connector features a "Proxy Redirect" which helps you connect to St. Thomas Library databases. This tool can be buggy sometimes and may cause issues. If you run into glitches, we recommend turning off Zotero's Proxy Redirect:

1. When you see the yellow bar across the top of the database, select "Proxy Settings" a database webpage a yellow banner across the top that says "Zotero detected that you are accessing Proquest through a proxy. Would you like to automatically redirect future requests to Proquest through ezproxy.stthomas.edu?"

2. Uncheck the box labeled Enable Proxy Redirection 

Zotero settings with "Enable Proxy Direction" left unchecked
