Hi Jonathan, My library colleagues consider this to be an very important issue. For Primo, users must be authenticated by login or IP address for Web of Science results to be included from Primo Central, and they must be logged in for EBSCO results to be included (i.e. even on campus.) The Web

We at GALILEO have thought about this. We authenticate everyone. If they're on campus it's by IP, if not, by password. So everyone sees everything. This also lets us define which EDS profile to direct the user to. -- Brad On 10/24/12, Jonathan Rochkind rochk...@jhu.edu wrote: On

At MIchigan, we direct users to an interface within our library site. Over the last week, a bit more than 28% of searches against the Summon service were from on-campus (hardwired) computers. An additional 25% of searches were conducted from authenticated campus wireless networks. So slightly more

We use Primo, but we've never bothered with their restricted search scopes. What are the use cases for putting discovery behind authentication? We often require users to authenticate for access, but we don't mind outsiders seeing what we've got. I imagine that if we did have something whose

But I think my conclusion is that few implementers have thought about this, and most off-campus users probably don't get restricted content. :) Which may be just fine -- the amount of restricted content in a given product is also unclear (hard to compare between products, hard to even know
