{Please excuse cross postings.}

Dear Colleagues,

We are exploring the differences between locally-hosted and OCLC-hosted EZ
Proxy.

If your institution uses OCLC-hosted EZ Proxy, what are your perceptions of
the pros and cons?

We're particularly interested in others' experiences with how OCLC supports
institutions when it comes to security (e.g., a need to block a user id,
response time when there's been a report from a publisher of excessive
downloading via the proxy IP address, etc.).

Additionally, what has the turnaround time been for adding or updating
resource access via EZ Proxy?

Please feel free to reply off list if preferred.

Best wishes,
Galadriel
