Hi Ross,

An FYI -- maybe not useful.

We're using an archaic authentication system that doesn't play that well with LinkSource (or anything else for that matter). So, I actually tried to set up LinkSource without hiding it behind authentication. This turned out to be a fool's errand because there's a built-in restriction to LinkSource: EBSCO SmartLinks (i.e., the links from LinkSource to all your EBSCO databases) are only available when the user is authenticated. You can build your own, as I tried to do, but the linking is far less robust. So, I doubt you'll find many LinkSources "in the wild".

Hi all,

I was wondering if there was anybody on the list that works for an institution 
that uses EBSCO's LinkSource as their link resolver that _doesn't_ hide it 
behind their single sign-on service.  Or, alternately, if you know of one (from 
somewhere other than where you work), that's welcome, too.

I'm trying to find a cross-section to see how much variation occurs, but having 
very little luck finding examples that aren't password protected.

Thanks,
-Ross.
