Hi Mark
We use redirector links on most of our subscribed e-journals and are very happy with them. It simplifies the login process for our users, doesn't force us to login onsite, and it enabled me to bypass a problem I had earlier this year when the link to Athens on a publisher website wasn't working. My only complaint is that it doesn't work with CUP and OUP yet.
Regards

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Athens redirector
Hi there
I wondered whether any institutions are using the Athens redirector tool from Eduserv?
How does it compare to EZProxy for example - what the coverage of resources work with it? Any pitfalls?
If anyone could share here any experiences either on here or with me off list - that would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Mark
