What is NTU Library Proxy?
"NTU Library Proxy" is a Chrome extension developed to facilitate Nanyang Technological University (NTU) students and staff in accessing academic databases. It has an automatic redirection feature which leads your browser to full-text academic resources via NTU's academic proxy.

This extension has some special automatic mechanisms for major academic databases like 'sciencedirect.com' and 'wiley.com' amongst others.

Extension summary

For Nanyang Technological University students and staff only.

This extension is developed by a former NTU PhD student and is not related to NTU library. For any problems, please drop an email to shaohua at gmail.com.

UPDATE v2.7 (8/2022) Removed an unused and unnecessary permission "tabs".

UPDATE v2.6 (2/2018) Some users report errors like "your connection is not private". The redirected URL has been set to use http connections always. (Sorry the update v2.4 on 1/2018 was buggy.)

UPDATE v2.3 (6/2013) Removed a feature (which behaves like a bug): if you press the button with some text selected on the page, Google will be invoked to query that text.

IMPORTANT UPDATE to v2.2 (6/2013)
