Hi -
Recently, Peter Murray posted the results of his survey on "Proxy Web
Servers and Authentication" - http://www.PandC.org/proxy/
A comment in the survey:
"Another academic library has set up its EZproxy server to allow
access to IP-restricted resources on campus web server in addition to
vendor provided databases."
Our library is the one doing this. Peter sent me an e-mail from someone
trying to find out more info - so I thought others might be interested.
We use EZproxy to restrict access to:
* software for which we have a site-license for home access
* maps of network activity (intermapper)
* committee documents so faculty can access them from home
Our campus webmaster & I keep trying to 'sell' this service to various
committees on campus. When we find a site restricted to on-campus use, we
try to get the owner to run it through EZproxy so campus folks can get to
it off-campus.
Thanks to Peter Murray for doing this survey and publishing the results.
It's been really helpful.
