Re: Remote Access for Library Resources Alternatives

["Hatala, Jeffrey" <hatala_j () SUNYBROOME EDU>]

We too have been using EZproxy for many many years.  Here is a temp link
to our site https://webster.sunybroome.edu:2443/public/library.html due
to the main web site being in transition.  Feel free to contact our
resident expert Michael Curtis, off line,  for details or questions you
may have.  Curtis_m () sunybroome edu

 

Make it a great day!

I'll add another positive voice for EZProxy.  We have been using it for
8 or 9 years and have found it to be a great piece of software with
terrific support.

Subject: [SECURITY] Remote Access for Library Resources Alternatives

 

We are currently looking for an alternative solution for off campus
users to access Library resources. There are many complaints about the
difficulty of setting up their VPN clients and the Library would like to
look at something that may be an easier solution. Since many of the
library resources require the user to be coming from our University
subnet, I have looked at a couple of options. One of them being EZProxy,
from OCLC.org

 

Does anyone have any experience with this product or perhaps have an
alternative solution in place?

 

Thanks,

Jim Miller
