access to (using their computer login username/password). That page lists
links to all the 3rd party databases that we use (Gale, Infotrac, ProCon
Online, etc...). I worked with each of the database vendors and we were
able to establish authenticated referrer links to all their systems, so that
as long as a user clicked on the link on our secured page, they were
automatically logged in to the database system.
A few of the databases now have per-user accounts rather then per-school
accounts and while those links are on the same library page, the students
are required to enter their own username & password.
