Thanks Dominic - would you be willing to share the tweak? What you have at the moment looks like what is on the OCLC site. Others seem to be able to view via EZproxy what we can't despite same information in config file so what else should I be looking for?
Re Shibboleth, I just followed a similar URL from another institution and managed to access their collection despite logging in via University of Westminster.......
Thanks

Hi Anna
We use Shibboleth linking eg: http://proquestcombo.safaribooksonline.com/?uiCode=UKFederation-member@[institution].ac.uk&xmlId=[isbn] (replace the square brackets with relevant ID's).
However, I note that our EZproxy configuration is not working today - it hangs at a redirect page. Option Cookie-only works with EZproxy 5.3+ and we're on 5.2 GA for Linux. See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.education.ezproxy/15353
Also, I spotted this in our messages.txt:
2012-03-09 07:02:38 Unrecognized config.txt(2589): "HTTP://^PPROQUEST.SAFARIBOOKSONLINE.COM^/").REPLACE(/^^HTTPS:\/
2012-03-09 07:02:38 Unrecognized config.txt(2590): "HTTPS://^SSSL.SAFARIBOOKSONLINE.COM^/"); document.location.repl
I need to make a tweak to the configuration.
Regards,
Dominic Benson

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Off campus access to Safari Books Online
Is anyone successfully managing to give off-site access to either videos or to the books without a HTML view on Safari Books Online? Neither work for us which I assume is because EZproxy doesn't work with Flash but does anybody have something working?
Thanks
