For the last three years, the Library has offered a proxy service
which permits members of the campus community who are connecting from
ISPs such as EarthLink, Comcast, SBC, and the like to access online,
campus-licensed materials, including library databases, journals, and
the OED.
Coincidentally, an IST News article describing this service, by
David Kalins of the Library Systems Office, was published just
yesterday (2003-08-26):
"The UC Berkeley Library proxy service"

P.S. As noted in David's article, configuration tools to
automatically set up selected Windows and Mac OS users' Web browsers
to access this proxy service will soon be available for downloading
from the WSS Software site, <http://software.berkeley.edu/>. These
tools are already included on the Connecting_at_Berkeley 2004 CD.
