[Michlib-l] Remote access of databases

[John Robertson]

Hi Brian, 

Our coopeartive (Suburban Library Coopeartive) talked to our ILS vendor
(Sirsi). After a patron logs into their library card account, a link is
displayed allowing database access. You may wish to contact your ILS
vendor to see if something like this can be done.
