[Eril-l] Alumni Authentication

[Sibley, Jean J]

Hi Bonnie, We offer several databases such as JSTOR, Project Muse, and Adam Matthew databases for alumni. There is a link on our Databases A-Z listing for alumni. They must login to the alumni portal (maintained by the Alumni Association) to access the resources. – Thanks, Jean

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
