+  * By far the easiest method I've found is to create a proxy server bookmarklet à la [[https://www.lib.purdue.edu/help/bookmarklet|this Purdue guide]].
+      * You then simply replace the Purdue href with the MSU one: "http://proxy1.cl.msu.edu/login?url=%22+location.href"
+      * Your final bookmarklet should look like this: javascript:void(location.href="http://proxy1.cl.msu.edu/login?url=%22+location.href)
+      * Now whenever you are up against a journal's paywall you merely need to click this bookmark, login to your MSU account, and voilà!
