Hi Folks,
I am posting this for a colleague at my library. If you would like to
volunteer to answer some
basic questions, please email me (address below) or Rachael Naismith at
rnaismit@spfldcol.edu.
We would like to hear from small to medium libraries (like us) who are
having success with authenticating users so that their identity is verified
and they are authorized for a variety of databases. We have a small IT
department and limited financial resources but are hoping to begin
authenticating users in the future to comply with licenses and avoid giving
out passwords.
TIA,
Linda Matson
