Installation of a Bookmarklet on an Apple iOS Mobile

Step 1: Bookmark this Library website page (or any page) and name it SE Library Bookmarklet.

  • Click on the Share icon at the bottom of the device.
     
  • Select to Add a Bookmark.


Step 2: Edit the Bookmark

  • Find the bookmark you just saved and edit it - i.e. change the name of the bookmark - SE Library Bookmarklet.
  • Change the URL field - delete everything in it then copy this entire line of text into the URL address box:

javascript:void(location.href=%22https://login.smhslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=%22+location.href)
 

  • Tap done.


Step 3: Using the Bookmark

Next time you're trying to get to the web page for an article or e-book that denies permission (eg trying to view articles from the New England Journal of Medicine on your iOS device), click the "SE Library Proxy" bookmarklet in your list of browser bookmarks.


Problem Solving

If the bookmarklet doesn't work in iOS, it may be due to JavaScript being disabled for your browser.

For Safari: Go to Settings > scroll to the bottom and click Advanced > JavaScript (must be green – enabled)
