how do you provide access to online resources requiring password? Stone, Evalyn 15 Jun 2007 16:32 UTC

I need your collective wisdom.  We have some online journals (TLS, Art newspaper) that provide access to their online archives only by password.  We don't have a way (or don't know of a way) to put the passwords into our catalog, so we've resorted to having the password at the reference desk.  This process  forces patrons to ask for the password, making the resource harder to use.

Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Thanks.
