[Web4lib] RE: Access My Library

[Sutherland, Paul]

A great idea

press release from a year ago
http://pressroom.gale.com/index.php/2005/06/thomson-gale-launches-access
mylibrarycom/ 

however - there are people outside of the USA - it dont work for them!

Also it appears that you need to be using "Thomson Gale's proprietary
Remote Patron Authentication System"
http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/page_about_lib#whatif

So what happens if you are using Ip authentication/ezproxy etc

Maybe someone will come up a firefox plugin - that works like the google
scholar/open URL one for this product.
