[Eril-l] New EBSCO personal login feature - Google login - and WAM

[Bazeley, Jennifer]

We disabled the Google option in Ebsco admin until we have a chance to look
at how it works more closely. I noticed today when I went into Ebsco admin
that it had been re-enabled somehow, presumably on Ebsco's end, so I had to
disable the function again.

Instructions for disabling are online at
