On Tuesday, Dec.9, 2025 the URL for the Camosun Library proxy server will change from libsecure.camosun.bc.ca to libsecure.camosun.ca
While plans are in place to update and redirect existing library permalinks, this may result in broken links or security warnings. Library staff are working with ITS to minimize disruption, and appreciate your patience. We ask that you modify any existing permalinks that include the libsecure prefix.
https://libsecure.camosun.ca/login?url=
If you have library permalinks in D2L, reading lists, or other course material, you will need to update them. Links should be tested on and off campus!
If you have questions, please reach out to your Subject librarian or email bryang@camosun.ca
To report a broken link, you can also use our Trouble report form.
The off campus login for library resources is the same as your Camosun domain account login (also used for D2L).
You can reset your Camosun domain password at https://password.camosun.ca.
For other problems accessing library resources off campus, please submit a trouble report.

Camosun Library databases and other digital resources are licensed for use by current students and employees. To access library eresources off campus you will need to log in or authenticate via EZproxy.
You can begin searching Camosun's Single Search discovery tool in guest mode, however you will need to log in to access the full text of any articles, ebooks or other licensed content. Click the link on the grey banner at the top of the screen that says, "Hello, Guest...".
Access library databases from the customized links on our Databases A-Z page. If you are on campus, you should be connected automatically. If you are off campus, you will be prompted to log in via EZproxy.
When you are logged in to the Camosun network on campus you should be able to connect to library databases without signing in.
If you do not see the EZproxy login screen or receive an error message when you try to log in, please contact the library. Provide as much detail as possible, including:
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides secure access from your computer to Camosun resources, e.g., a computer lab workstation, files, and applications. Using a VPN allows you to access Camosun resources as if you were on campus.
You do not need to connect to the VPN to access library resources.
If you have difficulty accessing library resources while connected to Camosun's VPN, disconnect from the VPN, refresh your browser, clear cookies, and try again. You should be prompted to authenticate via the Camosun secure login (EZproxy) page.
If you continue to experience problems, please submit details using our trouble report form and someone will follow up on the next regular business day (Mon-Fri.).
