What Educators and Admins Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"We used to get 30+ emails a week from students who couldn't access JSTOR or Scopus off-campus. Now I just share this guide link at orientation and the helpdesk load has dropped significantly."
"The staff permission scenario is exactly what I needed. It walked me through EZproxy configuration steps I always had to look up across five different pages. Having it in one checklist is a time-saver."
"Very useful for onboarding new students each semester. The remote access section covers VPN setup and proxy configuration clearly. The downloadable summary is great for sharing with new enrollees."
"I recommend this tool to every postgraduate student who struggles with database access during thesis research. The database navigation scenario helps them pick the right resource for their subject area instantly."
