[Peter van Rees]

If you are using Ezproxy, you'll find documentation on 
http://www.oclc.org/us/en/support/documentation/ezproxy/db/chronicle.htm
Hope this helps, peter

> How do you all store/display those annoying passwords for resources like the Chronicle and other things that, for whatever reason, can't go through the proxy server? We have a whole bunch of static web pages-one for each resource-that contain this info. The user finds the title for the Chronicle (or whatever resource they want) in the catalog, clicks the link to access the resource, and then is routed to the static (but proxy-protected) web page that contains the resource's access info. From that point, there's another link to get to the resource.
