8 Working examples of IP-address recognition links

The examples below contain IP-address recognition links that you can click after IP-address recognition is set up for your library. The links will take you into FirstSearch using the default authorization for IP-address recognition associated with the IP address of the workstation you are using. Remember to click Exit to exit FirstSearch after you try a link. When you exit, IP-address recognition should return you to this page.

For any of these links to work correctly when you try it, the link must use capabilities available from the FirstSearch account for your default authorization. Also the IP address of the workstation you are using must be included in IP-address recognition setup information for that authorization.

All examples use the Internet communication method. Example 1 uses WorldCat and other databases in the education topic area. Example 2 uses all databases available from the FirstSearch account. Examples 3 and 5 use the WorldCat database. Example 4 uses the Electronic Collections Online database.
