BiblioPass Access

Seamless access to licensed eResources through your institution.

BiblioPass Access gives students, faculty, and researchers at a subscribing academic or research institution seamless access to the journals, databases, and eResources their library already pays for — on campus or off, with no VPN and no re-entering credentials. HOW IT WORKS Once your institution's library has set up BiblioPass and you sign in through your institution's own login page, this extension recognizes when you land on a licensed publisher's website (e.g. a journal database your library subscribes to) and automatically routes that request through your institution's authenticated proxy — exactly as if you were sitting on campus. Every other website you visit is completely unaffected: only your institution's own list of subscribed publisher domains is ever routed through the proxy, and personal browsing, email, banking, and social media always go direct. WHAT YOU'LL SEE - A small badge appears on licensed publisher pages confirming "Access provided by [Your Institution]" — so you always know when you're using your institution's subscription. - The toolbar icon shows at a glance whether your current page is being routed through your institution's proxy. - A one-click diagnostics panel if access to a resource isn't working, so you (or your library's helpdesk) can see exactly what's failing. WHO THIS IS FOR This extension only does something when paired with a BiblioPass deployment run by your own library or institution. If your institution hasn't set up BiblioPass, this extension stays completely inactive — it doesn't do anything until you sign in through your institution's own BiblioPass login page. PRIVACY BiblioPass Access only ever inspects traffic to and from the specific publisher domains your institution has licensed — a list controlled entirely by your institution's librarians, never by this extension. It cannot see, read, or affect any other website you browse. See the full privacy policy for details on what limited usage data (which licensed resource was accessed, not its content) is reported back to your institution for their own subscription-usage statistics — the same kind of access log a campus library network already keeps today. Built for libraries and research institutes running their own BiblioPass platform deployment.
