[Web4lib] Alternative EZproxy setup

I would highly recommend directing this and other EZproxy questions to
the EZproxy email distribution list, which is a *very* helpful user
community.

Subject: [Web4lib] Alternative EZproxy setup

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.



Ruth Harrison
