[Eril-l] Managing asset links to proxied resources in LibGuides

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hello,
We are considering the functionality in LibGuides to set our proxy
information at the system-wide level, so that anytime we enter new assets,
we'd put in non-proxied links and then select "Yes" for "Use Proxy?"

We haven't used this method in the past - instead staff generally just
copies and pastes URLs directly into Link URL. It's my impression that
centralizing this might make it easier to manage links going forward if
anything should change with our proxy.

I'm curious how other folks using LibGuides manage this option of either
centralizing proxy info or just including proxied links in entering assets.
One concern I have is how to train staff on "unproxying" links - like if
they are linking to a proxied resource, will that be an annoying extra step
to have to remember to take out the proxy info?

Welcome any feedback on this wildly exciting topic :)
