I sent our System Librarian's partial fix for this to the list yesterday. We have 800 students on our campus, in our dorms, who unfortunately are provided free Net access via a local ISP. They have dynamically-assigned IP's, obviously, that complicate things. Our systems programming is working for most, but not all, vendors. Our users, regardless of location, domain name, and IP #, get in to the FirstSearch databases, IAC databases, and most other subscriptions, though not all. StatUSA and Newsbank are 2 exceptions off top of my head; Newsbank is working with us on it and we hope to have a fix by Jan. or sooner. John Creech Electronic Resources Librarian & Asst.
