Hi Andree,

At Saint Mary's we have one title and are adding another offered by
Opinion Archives. Our current title is New York Review of Books.  I
don't know if our experience is universally true for all titles. We
use IP authentication with EZ Proxy.

There are some quirks:

* The red lock appears on content you can access.

* Links to the books mentioned in reviews go directly to Amazon.

* Sometimes an advertisement will cover up the listing of contents.

* Printing is fine.

* Emailing requires you to create an account.

I think you should ask for a trial, but we have been pretty happy with it.

...Linda
