Initiative Title | (VIEW NOTE) Database Authentication |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2008-2009 |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Currently we are outsourcing our off-campus authentication to a private company. While this has worked well in the past, the company has become less responsive and there is a fear that the service will be phased out. Our intent is to move the authentication on-campus to better monitor usage statistics and continue to provide student access from home. While this initiative is fairly inexpensive in software cost, the success of the project relies on partnering with IT for server space and technical support. A link to student information held within Banner is also necessary. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Database licensing generally includes a clause where libraries must provide a way to ensure that only those affiliated with the campus have access to databases. By not proceeding with the migration plan, we are placing our compliance at risk. Students rely on home access. Their schedules are very full and they do their research at odd hours. Remote access has been well received by the students and ranks very highly with their satisfaction of library services. |
