Zotero citation management software proxy redirection setting interferes with on-campus e-resource access

When you use Zotero Connector (web extension) while off-campus, it automatically adds our proxy.

However, the proxy will interfere with on-campus access. To successfully use Zotero Connector while on campus, you will need to temporarily disable proxy redirection. To do so, go to Zotero Connector Preferences and click Proxies on the left, then un-check the "Enable proxy redirection" option.
