[CASL-L] ResearchITCT - referring URLs?

[Hansen, Eric A]

You could consider our EBSCO token-embedded URLs – they would need to be on a secure page, and your password-protected database page surely would qualify.  See:

Subject: [CASL-L] ResearchITCT - referring URLs?

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?"
