It would seem that this language authorizes usage through
workstations in the library to affiliated individuals anywhere who
are not located at a workstation. If they had meant to exclude ALL
users not located in the library, they would not have used the words
"who are located at workstations situated...".
So if you can configure an authenticating proxy server on a library
workstation to connect only to PDA's, laptops, Coke machines, and
anything other than a workstation, you're in compliance with the
language in this letter.
Or alternatively, could it be that the letter was written by someone
who doesn't understand much about how e-journals get used?
>Letter received from Mosby.
>What's the point of ejournals if you can use them only in a library! That's

>To provide access, please select those machines in the library/research

>Journals and log-in once on each of those machines ensuring that the "Save

>If your institution is unable to comply with the current terms, online
