[Eril-l] Alumni Authentication

[Bonnie Powers]

Good morning-

We have identified four e-resources/databases that we can offer to alumni
via remote access; however, we are having a difficult time figuring out how
to authenticate these users. They no longer have their net id/password,
which is what our current faculty and students use. They do retain their
college-affiliated email addresses, which is what we are hoping to use. At
least one of the vendors involved requires that alumni users be
distinguished from our regular users.

For those of you who offer any off-campus alumni access to databases, how
do you authenticate these users?

Thanks!
Bonnie
