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
Anna
