[Web4lib] Alternative EZproxy setup

[Ruth Harrison]

Hi,

My library is investigating providing remote database access to users via EZproxy. Our web provider is another state agency. That agency is concerned with the amount of bandwidth this will require. They are willing to proceed, if we are able to purchase more bandwidth. We cannot afford their price and want to look elsewhere. The problem is we cannot move our webpage. Is there an alternative EZproxy setup that will not affect the bandwidth of our current web site? For example, could we find another web provider for the database pages only? Has anyone else faced a similar situation? How did you resolve it? I have never used EZproxy. While reading through the information about it, this seems possible to me, but I don't know very much about networking, so this may be totally wrong. Any suggestions that anyone may have are appreciated.

Thank you.
