password protected ebook access

[Jim Gilbert(WTPL)]

I would consider looking at:

*IP authentication for onsite users
*SIP2 authentication (library card & PIN) for offsite [if license model allows offsite].

Another option might be EZproxy for offsite.

I would think you would be better off with IP authentication to your sites.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] password protected ebook access

I am part of a multi-type library consortium consisting of public, school, academic and even a special museum library.  We are just starting to explore developing eBook collections that would require our patrons to know a system wide user name and password to access the resources.

That isn't a problem for the schools and academics to share that type of information with their students, but how do we share it with our public library patrons, without sharing it with the world?

Has anyone developed a way to do this?
