Hello all
Our library is using an EZProxy server which provides remote authentication for users who are accessing subscription e-resources (e.g. e-journals) from outside the college.
Where a lecturer or librarian has put a link to an e-resource into a Bb course, students log into Bb, click on the link and get redirected to an EZProxy login page, and once they authenticate again they can access the resource.
The Library have advised me that there is now an EZProxy building block for Blackboard which would eliminate any further logging in once you have done so to Bb initially.
More info here:

This sounds good - just wondering if anyone has had experience of the building block, positive or negative?
Cheers
Leo
