Bloomsbury Fashion Video contains thousands of videos from the YOOX-NET-A-PORTER Runway Archive Collections, and documents the spectacular era in fashion running from 1979 to 2003. Although this database also offers an option to email specific videos in the collection, a preferred method to insure SU students and faculty have access to this subscription content for a specific video title is to carefully add SU's proxy prefix to the browser URL for that video. Below is an example, using the case of a Bloomsbury video from a runway show featuring the work of the late designer, Alexander McQueen.
- Copy the full URL for the video from the browser window
- In this case that example URL is - https://www-bloomsburyfashionvideo-com.libezproxy2.syr.edu/video?docid=BFVA_6083322031001&tocid=BFVA_file_6083322031001&st=alexander+mcqueen
- Manually add SU's proxy prefix to that URL (https://libezproxy.syr.edu/login?url=)
- The resulting URL for the title, inclusive of proxy prefix, would then look like this, and should work for on-campus as well as off-campus video access for all current SU NETID holding students, staff or faculty (https://libezproxy.syr.edu/login?url=https://www-bloomsburyfashionvideo-com.libezproxy2.syr.edu/video?docid=BFVA_6083322031001&tocid=BFVA_file_6083322031001&st=alexander+mcqueen )
