I share Michael's concern. We have not implemented "My Millennium" for
the same reason that he mentions. I think "My Millennium" or the option
to log on to the catalogue should be controlled by login/IP address, so
that public PCs in the library may be excluded. Can we put it on the
EIUG enhancement list (and the main IUG list as well in due course)?
