Re: How does anyone out there deal with password authenticated online content? Hutchens, Chad 29 May 2007 17:23 UTC

We have the same de-facto policy.  If the publisher or provider does not
offer IP authentication, we don't activate the title electronically.
Also, if it's an e-only title or resource without IP authentication, we
generally will not purchase or subscribe to it.

Policing usernames/passwds is really not possible.  Once someone has
them they can distribute them however they want, regardless of how they
got them in the first place (e.g. via a password protected library
resource).  The only way to make something like that work would be to
update passwords at regular intervals.  However, that solution simply
doesn't scale when you start getting up there in subscription numbers.

Our policy is to not add anything to our holdings that requires password
authentication. If it does not have IP authentication, it causes more
trouble than it is worth. Exceptions are very few and far between.

[SERIALST] How does anyone out there deal with password authenticated
online content?Hi Irma,If there is a better way to do this I would love
to hear about it. I created a page (we use TWiki content management) on
one of our intrAnets with an A-Z list of the journals that require
username/password login. That intranet requires a user to login. Our
page in the intranet was set up with specific rules to allow all users
associated with the university to be able to log in. The campus
webmaster set up these
rules so it seems like magic to me. It isn't as slick as IP recognition
but it beats "contacting the library for the login info" and allows 24/7
access.This wasn't something that I just knew how to do. I called the IT
folks and explained what I needed and this was their solution.The marc
record requires two 856 fields. One goes to the "lookup" page in the
intranet with instructions to write down the information and return to
the catalog; the other goes to the publisher's web site login
page.MarthaIrma Nicola wrote:>Hi Gang,>>We are on the verge of
