Hi Vicki
We basically do as you've outlined in your email, advising students that they need to use the URL www.wgsn.com/edu when setting up a new account or reactivating their account. As I understand it, the 3 month renewal is a rolling three months i.e. they should only need to completely reset their account if they don't use it at all for more than 3 months.

Hi Vicki
We have it working with our proxy, which is Innovative WAM rather than EZproxy. As far as I know it's working OK!

Good afternoon everyone,
We have just taken out a subscription to WGSN for our new Fashion Degree. We wanted to enable off-campus access via EZproxy. But to enable the personalised features students need to create an account. However, we have an issue as it thinks the domain is EZproxy not staffs.ac.uk thus not allowing users to create an account. It looks like the only way not to make this happen is to take off the proxy, get the students to create an account onsite, which will enable them to access the resource offcampus. And then they have to renew their account every 3 months.
Does anybody else subscribe to this and have they found a way around it.
