Can't you arrange for ip recognition ? Passwords for the public are a pain
as well as a quagmire. If you are offering remote access, you will need to
arrange for a proxy server as well.

: Subject: Password page for ejournals
:
: We now have access to about 50 electronic versions of journals because of
: our print subscriptions.  But most of these insist on access by user name
: and password.  I think that this kind of access will only be practical if
: we at McNeese set up a passworded page with all these passworded links on
: it.
:
: Otherwise I might as well cancel all these ejournals.  The Serials Dept,
: Reference Desk, and several computer labs would all need lists of the
: passwords.  Each time one was changed all these places would need an
update.
:
: Can anyone send me scripts for setting up ONE passworded page?  From this
: page all our other passwords could be accessed for electronic journals.
:
: How do other libraries handle this issue?
