I'll second Bethany's point on many smaller vendors just now moving to IP
authentication. If it consoles campus IT tell them they are right....it has
been at least 10 years since I have been hearing that proxy servers are a
thing of the past, but that the working normal across most libraries is
IP/proxy authentication.
Best,
Jimmy
