Hello all,
I am interested in the experiences of any FE colleges (especially institutions with HE provision) using local authentication methods to provide students with access to e-resources.
How do your students access the resources (an A-Z list via the college website, on your VLE, etc)?
How much control does the library staff have over the resources and the students' access to them?
When access to resources is compromised, how long does it take your IT staff to fix the problem? How high up on the IT staff's list of priorities is access to the e-resources?
How much money did local authentication for the resources take to implement? Did the library or IT department pay (or anyone else in the college...)
I would be very interested in both good and bad experiences!
thanks,
Nichole
