RE: Inhouse OPAC vs. Remote OPAC?

One way to do this would be to buy their scoping product and set up a
scope for the purpose of inside users that has links to all of the
IP-controlled databases. You could set each machine inside the library
to go to that scope as the default. If the main page that users can get
from home does not have links to the Inhouse page, then they do not have
to be frustrated.

Subject: Inhouse OPAC vs. Remote OPAC?
Hello,
Can 2 OPAC interfaces be created, one for in-library use and one for
remote
access?
We do not wish to allow patrons access to the www from within the
library.
That would constitute the OPAC machine becoming a public access internet
station. Internet Use agreements would need to be filed and patrons
would
not have ready access to the catalog. We currently use CybaryN which
disallows entry to outside sites, but we do not want to disappoint our
patrons by having a visible Webbridge, Metafind, or Syndetics link that
goes
nowhere. An in-house interface would be basic, the remote would offer
full
access to outside resources.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
