Mu’tah University in Jordan purchases OCLC’s EZproxy 5.0 software
The library at Mu’tah University in Karak, Jordan, is now among more than 2,500 institutions in over 60 countries to purchase EZproxy software, the leading software solution for serving library patrons remotely by providing authentication and remote user access to licensed databases.
In March 2008, OCLC released EZproxy 5.0, which now includes technical support from OCLC, the world’s largest library service and research organization. OCLC acquired EZproxy in January 2008.
Enhancements in this newly released version allow libraries to:
- View enhanced audit details that incorporate the location associated with the source IP address.
- Search across audit data to identify suspicious activity, including options to search based on location.
- Alter user access based on location, including the ability to block access or require additional information for access.
- Display a summary of database conflicts to identify and correct configuration issues.
- Develop advanced user authentication and authorization configurations using a new administration page.
