[Eril-l] Question about switching to EZProxy

[Katherine T. Silton]

We did this about 3.5 years ago. We use Hosted EZproxy which made the configuration piece pretty easy. We simply sent them a list of every resource that we needed proxied (it probably took a half days work to compile this from our database list and from our knowledge base). We pretty much migrated everything all at once. The worst part was changing all of the links on our website and in LibGuides. That process took a couple of months to totally complete. We occasionally find an old WAM link to this day, and occasionally come across something that we overlooked during the transition that needs to be added to our config file, but other than that, it went pretty smoothly. Please feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions.

Our library is in the process of migrating from WAM to EZProxy. For those of you who have gone through this process, how did you make the switch? Was it a gradual process (switched problematic resources first and then slowly migrated the rest of the resources) or was it done all at once? Additionally how long did it take to transition to EZProxy (from the testing phase period to transition completion)? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
