This weekend I tested authentication access to all of our databases from outside the campus IP range, using the new proxy server. It went surprisingly well. I uncovered eleventy subscription/title problems, but the new proxy server seems to work very well.

I changed the snippet in SerialsSolutions today, Sunday. That change will run overnight, so tomorrow our patrons who use the A-Z Journal List will be accessing all our journals through the new server. SerSol is going to send us a new file of e-journal holdings with corrected URLs tomorrow, and we’ll load those tens of thousands of records into the system so that the URLs in the catalog match the A-Z list.

We’ll manually change the URLs for our 300 databases tomorrow as well, one by one.

And then, once those chores are done, we’ll put on our princess dresses and go to the ball!

  1. Isn’t electronic resource management fun! And the fun grows each year as you start subscriptions to new products!
