[Eril-l] Alum access to JSTOR - how are you setting up authentication? how are you getting usage statistics for alums?

[Sibley, Jean J]

Hi James, We have a dedicated web page "Alumni Access to Library Resources" - as part of our A-Z list: https://libraries.wm.edu/databases/alumni

The JSTOR for Alumni goes through the alumni portal, not the library. Alumni have their own login to this; and the statistics are monitored by the Alumni Association.

Good luck! - Jean

Hi All,



We use OCLC's EZ-Proxy. I ran statistics for JSTOR and saw that it's now combining all the usage stats for our regular account (students/staff/faculty) with alums.



And there are zero usage data for alums. I brought this up with a JSTOR rep and he gave me options for alums to connect to JSTOR, but I didn't like any of them. He mentioned using a different referring URL for alums.



How have you set up JSTOR for alum access? Thanks for listening/sharing.



Best,

James
