Welcome to MLK Jr. Library at Los Angeles City College!

Proxy Link Converter

Beginning December 1, 2023, any link beginning with http://libpxy.lacitycollege.edu will no longer work. You will need to switch out that portion of your link with the library's new proxy prefix: https://lacc.idm.oclc.org Use the form below to convert the prefix of your links.

Permalinks

Permalinks for content from MLK Library's databases will need to start with the library's proxy address: https://login.lacc.idm.oclc.org/login?url= to work correctly from off campus. For some of the databases, you will need to add the proxy address before the URL.

For example: New Proxy + Source URL= New URL for Off Campus Access

New Proxy  Source URL
https://login.lacc.idm.oclc.org/login?url= http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0887618516301980
New URL with Proxy Address https://login.lacc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0887618516301980
