Case Western Reserve University rolled out 2-factor authentication
with our VPN in early 2015. The library and campus IT partnered on the
"messaging". Library had IT folks "on call" and do several demos for
various student audiences.

Thanks,
Brian

For publishers, this is a a beneficial step. However, there may be an unintended consequence to adding another step to the authorization process. Off-campus users, who presently find their institution’s authentication process exasperatingly complicated, may be further driven from using authorized library resources. Adding more security to campus networks may unfortunately drive more authorized users into the shadows.
