[Eril-l] [EXTERNAL] Re: Cloudflare errors with EZProxy for numerous publisher sites

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Dom and Jen,  I'm not as familiar with the Silverchair issue.    Is it
possible to contact them directly or do we need to go through each
publisher?    Are these publishers that can be added to IPregistery?   I'm
not as familiar with dealing with individual publishers, we lost our
electronic resources position.  :(

Thanks!

Vickie
