If your remote users access through a proxy, copy this LibGuide into your guides, find the box you'd like to proxy, and click "Edit Media/Widget code." Then, add your proxy information to the https://search.credoreference.com link in the fourth or fifth line of the code.
The unproxied Credo URL from the Health amd Medicine search box:
value="https://search.credoreference.com/search/advanced?include={0}&subjects=112&sort=relevance"/>
EZ Proxy example:
value="http://yourlib.ezproxy.com/login?url=https://search.credoreference.com/search/advanced?include={0}&subjects=112&sort=relevance"
WAM Proxy example:
value="http://0-search.credoreference.com.yourproxy.edu/search/advanced?include={0}&subjects=112&sort=relevance"
Make sure to keep the quotation marks at the beginning amd end of the URL, but remove them from between the proxy prefix and the Credo URL. Please note that if you're working with the beta guides, the quotation marks might be encoded to " instead, but you can treat them the same way. If you have any issues, please contact support@credoreference.com for help in modifying the code.
If your patrons use their library cards for remote Credo access, this box format will let them skip the “Where are you from?” stage of authentication, and get right to the search results page after entering their library card barcode.
To use this box, you'll need your "Credo client ID", which can be requested from support@credoreference.com. Insert this value into the code where you see the ****, or just ask us for help!
Place a Credo Search Box right on your library's LibGuides! These boxes search within your entire collection (Basic Search Boxes) or different entry types (entries with videos, entries with pronunciation files, etc). Subject-specific boxes and boxes for our premium Subject Collection content can be found on other tabs. If you have any questions about which boxes to use, just submit a support request for help.
Simply copy this complete guide into your own LibGuides (Learn how to copy a LibGuide here - LibApps sign-in required). Please note that you must be using LibGuides v2 in order to copy our guides. Leave it unpublished, and you can import the appropriate Credo Search Box into your LibGuides using the Add New Box > Reuse an Existing Box function in your admin view.
To add your proxy, see the informational box at the bottom of this page for instructions, or submit a support request for help.
If you prefer the Credo results page to open in the same tab/window, use the "Opens in the same tab/window" box on the left or simply replace "_blank" in the last few lines of other boxes' code with "_self", or submit a support request for help.
