From: "Prudence Y. Morris" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 09:22:31 -0500 Hi Galadriel, We have used hosted EZproxy for a few years now. We have not hosted a proxy server locally, so I don’t have a comparison, but I can say that I think the hosted version it is great. OCLC staff are very responsive to requests. They typically complete my resource additions and deletions within 24 hours. Thanks, Pru Morris Digital Resources Manager Texas A&M University-San Antonio San Antonio, TX 78224 Email: [log in to unmask] Website: www.tamusa.edu/library From: "Chilton, Galadriel" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 15:51:22 +0000 {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 -------------------------------------------------------- Galadriel Chilton Head of Electronic Resource Services and Electronic Resources Management Librarian Homer Babbidge Library | University of Connecticut 369 Fairfield Way | Storrs, CT 06269 860.486.6016 | [log in to unmask]
