Hi Nick, Here at Robert Gordon University we experienced problems with
the Athens link not displaying and therefore being unable to access the
full text of the ebooks. After discussion with the supplier, we decided
to go down the route of EZProxy and this is now working ok for us.
Best wishes

Subject: [LIS-E-RESOURCES] Safari Technical Books Online: authentication
method
Dear colleagues
We are considering switching our method of authentication to the above
resource from IP to IP and Athens, because of off-campus authentication
problems using our VPN service (the text of books is not being
displayed). We would be very grateful to hear:
a) from anybody who has switched from IP to IP & Athens
authentication for Safari as to whether they experienced any problems as
a result of the switch-over
b) from anybody who has always used Athens authentication for
Safari as to whether any problems have been encountered
c) whether anybody who uses IP authentication has experienced
problems using a VPN service for off-campus access, and how, if at all,
these problems were resolved.
Thank you
