[CASL-L] ResearchITCT - referring URLs?

[Dawn Zillich]

It is super easy to get a CT State Library card via an online form that
gets mailed in and cards are returned back to you. I worked with my history
teachers and students responded very well to this service. Here is the link
to the application:

"The old idea of the librarian as a sort of recluse closeted with his books
and

interested only in them is the very antithesis of the modern librarian, who

must live with people equally with books, and who must also be keenly aware

of all that is going on in the world around him."

~Linda A. Eastman~ (Head Librarian of the Cleveland Public Library, 1918 to
1938)

The Ferguson library in Stamford allows students to get cards online
through a program called, Linked Libraries. The program was only available
in a few schools as they were rolling out this new program over the last
two years. However, the program is on hold this year as the schools lost
their media paras due to budget cuts and LMSs are too overwhelmed to manage
the program at the moment.



The woman who coordinates the program is:

Hi again- here is an email I just sent to Eric @RESEARCHITCT - has anyone
had an experience with this?  Does your public library issues cards
digitally?  thanks- Barb



"Eric- Is it possible to utilize referring URL for the ResearchITCT
databases?  The reason I ask is that our database page, which is
password-protected,

lists many of the very useful ResearchITCT databases, and our teachers are
starting to complain that it is not useful for their students, as they
cannot access from home without a library card number.  I have asked the
Wilton Library if we could get the cards online/virtually, but they say
that the students must come into the library to get a card and access the
databases.



If I was able to get links that were referring URLs, that would allow my
students to access at home.



If this is not possible, I would ask: do you know if other libraries make
it possible for students to get library cards online?"
