ValueLine remote access?

An investment club in an area may sponsor us a subscription
for ValueLine
with remote access. However,

ValueLine doesn't do its own authentication unlike Gale and
the other
databases that we have that do their own authentication.

 

For those libraries that have provided remote access to
ValueLine - how have
you done it? EzProxy or some other way? How expensive and
how time involved
it has been for your tech staff?

 

Thanks, Ed

 




The mission of the San Bernardino Public Library is to
provide free access to the world of ideas, information and
creative experience for all citizens of San Bernardino.

Hello Ed,

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "ValueLine
doesn't do its own
authentication...".

Duke University Libraries has an IP-authenticated
subscription to their
Value Line Research Center product; and remote
authentication of users via
EZProxy is supported by VL.

If you already have any EZProxy installation, remote
auth+access is acheived
by simply adding the appropriate settings to your
ezproxy.cfg file.
Disclaimer: I'm not Duke's EZProxy admin so I can give you
more feedback
than I have; but I can provide you contact info for a VL rep
off-list if you
like.

Cheers,
