Web Access Management
WAM allows your library to use the Innovative Web server to forward requests to a remote server. Your library can use WAM to allow users who connect to your catalog from home to access subscription databases and control access to restricted databases. (CSdirect)

Libraries & Learning Technologies
Millennium at AUC• Millennium implemented 2001• WAM implemented 2005 for off-
campus access• Panacea for users

Libraries & Learning Technologies
Connections at AUC• 5,500+ faculty & students plus SCE• 100+ computers in library• Thousands of computers – wired and
wireless• LALT 101 classroom activities

Libraries & Learning Technologies
Electronic Resources• 100+ databases• 19 statistical databases• 40,000+ electronic books• 60,000+ electronic journals• Primarily English, some Arabic

Every increasing load on WAM

Libraries & Learning Technologies
Two major issues• On- and off-campus users
authenticated on WAM – added layer for on-campus users
• All traffic routed via WAM – possible bottleneck

Libraries & Learning Technologies
Unforeseen Problems – management• http://0-www.database.com.lib.aucegypt.edu/
• Add to MARC records 856 field, regular updates
• Add to ERM Resource Records• Miscellaneous links; libguides,
webpages, publicity, etc.

Libraries & Learning Technologies
Unforeseen Problems – Users • Proxy slows connection & response• Proxy malfunction blocks all access• Removing proxy redirect• LALT 101 classroom instruction
![Page 10: Libraries & Learning Technologies Web Access Management: The AUC Experience Casey Grimmer, Head Daniel Blucker, eResources Research & Information Services](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649edc5503460f94becf26/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Libraries & Learning Technologies
Short-Term or Temporary Solution• Cold fusion script to bypass proxy
local user to http://www.databases.comremote user to http://0-www.database.com.lib.aucegypt.edu
• Partial solution– works only on website– not cataloged resources
![Page 11: Libraries & Learning Technologies Web Access Management: The AUC Experience Casey Grimmer, Head Daniel Blucker, eResources Research & Information Services](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649edc5503460f94becf26/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Libraries & Learning Technologies
Long-Term, Permanent Solution• EZproxy ???
– remote users redirected– single URL for all resources– LDAP authentication
• WAM authentication uses API ???• Others ???
