ezproxy

[Joanna Crump]

I'm trying to educate myself in things like this right now. What you're
proposing sounds do-able through EZProxy. I understand that consortiums use
Shibboleth as a user authentication system along with EZProxy because
Shibboleth is meant to be used across institutions. That's all I can throw
into the ring right now, but I'm learning!
