Mary, the solution can be hw or sw dependent. Which browser? Which platform?
However, you can consider the possibility to enter the prefs of (your) browser and set proxy to dummy.ctstateu.edu (a non existing machine) and set no proxy on library.ctstateu.edu, for instance, if the IP range matches a sub-domain.
Then you need to protect the preferences... In a MacOS environment this is simple to do.
