Open University Libezproxy URL inject
Description from store

This extension is designed by a student for students (or tutors) at the Open University (UK) as a simple way to add ".libezproxy.open.ac.uk" to the domain of the active tab's URL, to redirect the page through Libez Proxy using one's Open University credentials.

This is a simple extension that only amends the current URL and redirects the page - it cannot access any credentials nor does it record any history whatsoever. It was developed to make it easier to add the above proxy to URLs such as http://www.nature.com/.. or http://dx.doi.org/.. to become http://www.nature.com.libezproxy.open.ac.uk/.. or http://dx.doi.org.libezproxy.open.ac.uk/..

Once the code has run, the browser redirects to the Open University website where you can log in - if not already logged in - and then it will attempt to find the journal article via the OU Library.
