The Regis Library provides special assistance to Regis North students. Students need to obtain materials from both campuses, NECC and Regis, and we are committed to making this process easy and straightforward!

Proxy Server
The Regis College Library's web site provides seamless access to electronic resources. When you click a link to a database, access an article, video, ebook or other content from a subscription database, you will be prompted to log in to the proxy server with your Regis ID which is the same as your Moodle username and password. After logging in, you will be directed automatically to the desired resource.
Licensing agreements for these databases require that access be extended only to authorized users. Once you have been validated by this system, a "cookie" is sent to your browser as an ongoing indication of your authorization to access these databases. It will only need to be set once during login. Your browser must be configured to accept cookies in order to authenticate properly to the Regis College library proxy server.
Firewalls
If you are using a personal firewall, you may need to change its configuration to allow the required cookie to be set.
