Access
What methods are used to access journals?
Access to the Érudit platform is via IP address recognition. Institutions wishing to subscribe to Érudit titles must provide the fixed IP addresses of their institutions. Remote access via proxy or referring URL is also supported.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is an address that identifies a computer on the Internet. It is usually composed of four sets of numbers between 0 and 222, for example, 132.204.10.50. Addresses can be fixed, i.e., they can be assigned permanently to a computer station, or dynamic, i.e., the address can change over time, depending on the network infrastructure.
What is a private or public IP?
An IP address is public if it is transmitted to the consulted Web site. A private address is an address generally with the form 10 … * (i.e., beginning with 10 and followed by three sets of numbers from 0 to 255). It is usually not transmitted outside the private network of an institution, in which case a public address will be substituted for the private address.
How do I find my IP address?
To know your IP address, you can use a site like http://www.myipaddress.com/show-my-ip-address/. The address displayed will necessarily be a public address and not necessarily the address of the work station (private IP).
The following addresses are invalid for access via IP address.
- *.*.*
- 16.*.* à 172.31.*.*
- 168.*.*
Does my network support access via IP address?
If you are in an institution (CEGEP, university, national library, etc.), you are probably using a private network that assigns unique IP addresses to your institution For example, the addresses of the Université de Montréal almost all begin by 132.204.
If you subscribe to an independent Internet service provider (Bell, Videotron), there is a good chance that your addresses are dynamic, i.e., they change from time to time In this case, Érudit’s authentication mechanism via IP address cannot be implemented.
What is a PROXY?
A proxy is a network service that acts as an intermediary between users and the services they wish to access. Proxies are used through the configuration of an Internet browser. Most proxies require authentication by users. Furthermore, this service is managed by your institution and not by Érudit.
How do I configure a PROXY?
Internet Explorer
- In the Tools menu, click Internet Options, select the Connections tab, click LAN Settings
- Under Proxy server, select the check box Use a proxy server for your LAN
- In the Address box, type the address of the proxy server
- In the Port box, type the port number used by the proxy server for client connection (by default, it is 80)
- Click OK to close the LAN settings dialogue box
- Click OK again to close the Internet options dialogue box.
Firefox
- In the Tools menu in Firefox, click Options, and then click the Advanced tab, and click the Network tab
- Click the Settings button
- Check the radio button Manual proxy configuration, under HTTP proxy, enter the IP address of your proxy and port
- Click OK to close the dialogue box.
Safari
- Choose Safari > Preferences
- Click Advanced
- Click Change settings
- The Network pane of System Preferences will open
- Use the information from your network administrator to change the proxy server settings.
I do not have access to subscription content. Why?
If you are a user
If you are unable to access Érudit content, you should check whether you are part of a subscribing institution and that the content you wish to access is actually part of your institution’s subscription. Please confirm this information with your institution’s library.
For assistance on remote access to Érudit content through your institution, you should also contact your library or technical support. Érudit only manages proxy address recognition.
If you are a reference person of a subscribing institution
We have developed a diagnostic page containing information about your subscription (IP address, subscribed titles, etc.). This page is available at: http://www.erudit.org/soutien/diagnostic.php.
From the information contained on this page, make sure that the subscribed titles are correct and that IP address matches the one provided to Érudit (you will also need the proxy address, if applicable).
If this does not resolve the problem, perform a diagnostic screen capture containing your information and send it by email to Érudit at client@erudit.org. This will help us resolve the technical problem more effectively.
