1. Managing e-Resources & Licensing

EZproxy, troubleshooting, authentication, communication

Following this session, participants will be able to:

• Read and interpret EZproxy log files, and map information from the log file to information in the EZproxy admin console
• Implement monitoring and maintenance tasks for EZproxy
• Understand authentication options available with EZproxy (CAS, Shibboleth, etc.)
• Communicate more effectively with their IT departments regarding EZproxy

EZproxy is one of the most common tools used by libraries to manage remote access to licensed electronic resources. In many cases the administration of EZproxy falls to the electronic resources librarian. It is often difficult, however, to find information about administering EZproxy that is specific to the role of the ERL. This session is designed to expand your knowledge of EZproxy administration, offer ideas for troubleshooting access issues, provide an overview of authentication options and share examples of log file usage for assessment purposes.
