UMN EZProxy

Greetings,
Yesterday at the reference desk I took a call from a patron needing the EXProxy for the University Libraries for an iPhone application they had recently purchased. After searching unsuccessfully through the Library web-pages, I came across a site for a free download called PubSearch, an add-on for Macs that allows users to search PubMed through a Mac-based interface. This site - called deathraypizza.com - listed the University of Minnesota EZProxy along with several other major libraries around the world. Other applications of this sort exist, such as PubMed on Tap (designed for the iPhone) which has a free version (lite) and one that costs $2.99, and usually are designed for mobile devices. If you have this question come up in the future, the EZProxy for the U listed at deathraypizza.com was the one I sent on to the patron and it worked. It is as follows:
