Hi Anna,

We promote the use of a browser plugin called LibX. See our libguide
here: http://uri.libguides.com/libx

Once set up, this allows you to right-click on a link and the URL will
be changed to the proxied URL. I use it regularly (including for
locked Chronicle articles in the daily email), and it works quite
well.

On a side note, our Chronicle site license through NERL only allows
access via web browser. I recently learned that the Chronicle will
extend the site license to mobile app users, but only for an added
cost. (We have not upgraded our subscription). As a result, without
this add-on, users can read the Chronicle on their mobile device only
by using the browser, not the app.

best,
Andrée
