[Eril-l] Academic Library resources behind a firewall

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hi,

As far as I know, hospital libraries do exactly this or a variation of this often. The librarians may even list the path in their e-mail signature lines, eg. Visit the Library online at:  http://portal2/sites...Library, etc...
Some of the hospital and research center libraries have web sites that provide instructions, 2 examples:

--Northwell Health: https://professionals.northwell.edu/continuing-professional-education/libraries/about-us
Excerpt: Electronic Medical Information Library
Accessible through the Northwell Intranet, the Electronic Medical Information Library (EMIL) enables staff throughout the health system to access a comprehensive suite of databases, e-journals, e-textbooks and reference services, both on campus and remotely, from one single platform. The EMIL initiative was funded by an information systems grant from the National Library of Medicine.

--VA: VHA National Desktop Library Home (va.gov)<https://www.va.gov/library/>
Excerpt: The VHA National Desktop Library is an online medical library available to staff VA-wide that provides full-text access to clinical textbooks, journals and databases. You are now on an internet site, but some of the resources in the Desktop Library will link to sites that are on the VA intranet. To access those, you will have to log into your remote account (VPN) or be on the VA network.

Corporate libraries might do something similar as well.

Good luck!

Hello.  Do you know any library whose web page doesn't feature its electronic resources on its home page but has them hidden in an intranet?  In other words, someone using the home page would not be able to see the databases but would have to put in authentication to even get to them from a link.  The same thing for the online catalog.   Thanks.
