Remote access to databases

[Alan Bogage]

We have a number of web based periodical databases (IAC, SIRS, etc.) to
which we need to provide remote access for our students and faculty.  I
understand that somehow we need to create a database of our users which
can be based on their library barcodes.  Since the vendors are
authenticating via our ip addresses, how can a remote user "grab" one of
our ip addresses and send that to the vendor?  Where can I learn about
how to do this?
