Q 1.1
Does your University impose an
authentication mechanism to access
electronically subscribed Journals
from on-campus? If so, what is the
technical method used and what
identifying data is required from an
individual to gain access?
Q 1.2
Does your University allow use
of electronic journal
subscriptions from off campus?
If so what technology is used
and what identifying data is
provided by an individual is
required to gain access?
Yes. Students and staff need to
authenticate onto all computers on
campus for all applications and
resources. This includes the wireless
network. Students and staff are given a
'Bond University Network' account
when they enroll or employed. This is
their name and a password. The
password can be changed by the
student. A username and password is
required to gain access to the
network. This is verified against a
centrally maintained database.
Yes. EzyProxy IP recognition and CSU
authentication, individual CSU-issued
Login and Password. CSU login is a
universal authentication for all
electronic transactions within the CSU
network.
Yes. Authentication is via
Ezproxy. Students and Staff then
authenticate as for on-campus
access.
No authentication mechanisms are
currently imposed to access electronic
Journals from campus Libraries and
staff and student work areas with
standard computer network outlets.
Students using the Wireless Network
on campus need to authenticate to join
that, and don't need to re-authenticate
to access a Journal.
CAUL JOURNAL ACCESS AND AUTHENTICATION SURVEY 2003
Yes. EzyProxy IP recognition.
CSU Login and Password
required.
Yes. The identifying data entered
by patrons is surname and library
barcode, which are verified against
the a centrally maintained
database, using home grown
software, not the WAM (Web
Access Management) from
Innopac.
Q 1.3
Do each of staff, students
and visitors need to
authenticate to access
electronic Journals?
Q 1.4
How are semi-autonomous
bodies handed with respect to
electronic journal access if they
are connected to your
University's computer
network?- Are they separated in
some manner or how is this
arranged via license
agreements?
At this stage we do not have semiautonomous bodies, so does not
apply
Yes. Only staff and students
are issued with authentication
logins and passwords.
Visitors are not able to
access electronic journals.
The University has a Cohort
identification table, which allows
assignment of certain access
privileges. Automatic access is
only given to staff and student
members of CSU, affiliate bodies
are excluded. Access for casual
staff or visiting staff/students can
be requested by an online form
sent by head of section to the
Electronic Collection director for
assessment and permission.
If they are on the University
Network in the main network
number (Internet Protocol) range
they have access. If the body is
connected to the University
Network but has a independent
number range then access is
authenticated as if they were
connecting through the Internet.
For off campus access via the
Internet each member of the
University does this.
For off campus access using
the University operated dial-in
system authentication is not
required at present.

Deakin
The University imposes Internet
authentication on users for sites
outside the University domain.
Technical method is via Proxy server,
identification is network user ID and
password. Additionally some individual
sites require a site specific login and
password (ie no IP access).
Yes. EzProxy software is used.
Authentication is by family name,
library ID number and Library PIN.
This mimics the Innopac
authentication module.
Flinders
No.
Any person authorised to access the
network will have access to the
journals
Yes
EZproxy is used.
Login is via University LDAP
system or Library barcode
For all Internet access
outside the Deakin network,
on campus staff and students
must authenticate.
Visitors/the public do not
have this access.
Remote staff and student
may access EzProxy enables
resources as detailed above.
Authentication required for off
campus usage.
Generally from staff and
student workstations
authentication is required to
access the Internet.
Walkin access is provided to
electronic subscriptions,
without
authentication, on the
catalogue terminals in the
libraries.

Q 1.4
How are semi-autonomous
bodies handed with respect to

In general Deakin IP ranges have
access, and Deakin staff and
students have to authenticate to
get to the Internet. Remote access
is based on the library patron
database and only eligible people
are able to use library
authentication to access
subscribed resources.
Staff and students are allowed
access, most allow walk-in access

Q 1.2
Does your University allow use

subscriptions from off campus?
If so what technology is used
and what identifying data is
provided by an individual is
required to gain access?
No authentication mechanisms are
currently imposed to access electronic
Journals from campus Libraries,
Learning Centres or on-campus
workstations. Public access is available
via Library workstations under the
"walk-in" users provisions of the
licences. Some form of authentication
is required from all other university
workstations but this is network specific
authentication rather than e-journal title
specific.
No
Yes. As access to virtually all ejournals is controlled by IP
address, Griffith staff and students
need to have modem bank, Vlink
or Citrix access via their home
workstation. Input of staff/student
Id will be required via any of these
access routes
CAUL JOURNAL ACCESS AND AUTHENTICATION SURVEY 2003
Yes. The identifying data entered
by a patron is
Student/Staff number from
his/her ID card and Library PIN.
Innopac WAM is used for
authentication.
Q 1.3
Do each of staff, students
and visitors need to
authenticate to access
electronic Journals?
Q 1.4
How are semi-autonomous
bodies handed with respect to
electronic journal access if they
are connected to your
University's computer
network?- Are they separated in
some manner or how is this
arranged via license
agreements?
Access is determined on the basis
of the ability of a person to access
the university network. Only staff
and students officially recognised
as being members of the university
community are eligible for network
access. If a person can access the
university network they will be able
to access the full e-journal
resources.
For off-campus access via
the Internet, staff and
students need to
authenticate. Staff and
students using the dial-in
system for off- campus
access do not need to
authenticate - the dial-in
system makes it appear as if
the dial-in user is accessing
from within the La Trobe
domain.
For off-campus access via the
Internet, staff and
students need to authenticate.
Staff and students using the dial-in

Q 1.3
Do each of staff, students
and visitors need to
authenticate to access
electronic Journals?
NTU
No authentication mechanisms are
currently imposed to access
electronic journals. Students and staff
have to authenticate to log in to a
computer and then also to the Internet,
but not the journals specifically.
Yes. We use ezyproxy aas a
means of authentication and
students use the same Computer
Account that they need to log on to
the computers on campus. Staff
on certain servers also use their
Computer log ins, but the rest
apply for the use of a generic
password.
QUT
On-campus access to all resources is
authenticated using the QUT Access
Account System, an LDAP system.
Clients are required to enter their QUT
username and password.
We also route all on-campus traffic via
EzProxy as a means of not charging
students' internetc access quotas for
library database internet usage.
Yes. The same QUT Access
Account system is used. EzProxy
is also used for off-campus
access.
Swinburne
Authentication to PC via Novell login.
Authentication subscribed
journals via EZ Proxy. EZ Proxy
authenticates against a POP server
containing user name (student/staff ID
number) and password (for students
DOB).
Yes, via EZ Proxy (as above).
NTU staff and students
authenticate when they log
into the the computer. Now
that NTU restricts use of the
internet, they need to
authenticate again if the
journal has a URL other than
www.ntu.edu.au . If visitors
are given a Computer
account (probably only
visiting lecturers), they do
have unauthenticated access
to journals.
Yes this applies to staff ,
students and those visitors
who have been registered
with a QUT Access account
as "like staff" or "like student"
. But real visitors, such as
walk in users or associate
borrowers do not have an
access account and therefore
can not access electronic
journals on or off campus.
Yes. Students and staff
authenticate via EZ Proxy.
Visitors have no access since
they have no Novell login and
no EZ Proxy login.
CAUL JOURNAL ACCESS AND AUTHENTICATION SURVEY 2003
Q 1.4
How are semi-autonomous
bodies handed with respect to
electronic journal access if they
are connected to your
University's computer
network?- Are they separated in
some manner or how is this
arranged via license
agreements?
If they are given a computer
account by our ITMS department
then they have direct access to
journals on campus. They are not
separated via licence agreements.
The Library relies on the QUT wide
Access Account system. If
members of semi-autonomous
bodies are provided a QUT Access
Account by Information
Technology Services then they
have full database/ejournal
access. This would be because
they were admitted to the staff or
student systems.
We use EZ Proxy on top of IP
authentication. Only university staff
and students have EZ Proxy login
so others cannot access restricted
resources.

Q 1.1
Does your University impose an
authentication mechanism to access
electronically subscribed Journals
from on-campus? If so, what is the
technical method used and what
identifying data is required from an
individual to gain access?
Q 1.2
Does your University allow use
of electronic journal
subscriptions from off campus?
If so what technology is used
and what identifying data is
provided by an individual is
required to gain access?
Q 1.3
Do each of staff, students
and visitors need to
authenticate to access
electronic Journals?
Yes. The electronic journals require
that the staff or student authenticate
against the university's proxy server for
internet access. This is done with
email account username and
password. This restricts on-campus
access to electronic journals from
student database machines to current
staff and students. We also have all
our electronic resources accessed
through ezproxy, but on-campus the
user does not have to authenticate
against the exProxy server.
Yes. Off-campus access is against
ezproxy, again using email
username And password, and to
access the internet users also
need to authenticate (only once
per browser session). This
restricts all off-campus access to
current staff and students.
This depends on the
computer the staff, students
and visitors choose to
use. Only students can log
into our student database
machines, as they are
only for current students.
They need a Novell logon and
password for his, hen their
internet usage is authorised
via their email username and
password. Staff have access
to their staff machines oncampus and have email
username/password
authorisation to the internet.
Q 1.4
How are semi-autonomous
bodies handed with respect to
electronic journal access if they
are connected to your
University's computer
network?- Are they separated in
some manner or how is this
arranged via license
agreements?
If a person is recorded on our HR
system, or on our student system,
(with the right parameters) or
authorised non-university people
(e.g. Tasmanian University Union
staff), they get email accounts and
this is their access to the internet,
to ezproxy and thus to our
resources. No separate Licence
agreements.
For walkin users our IT
people have devised a very
restricted OPAC Machine
which only has two icons on it
- the iPAC and Internet
Explorer. Users Can use the
online catalogue, or they can use
IE to go use the Utas intranet,
or to access WITHOUT
AUTHENTICATION, any
electronic resource which is
available through ezproxy.
We are currently having this
slightly changed so that
walkin users can save to disk
in some way, or print if this is
feasible (they'd have to have
a card for our printing
system). IT have done the
walkin OPACs by assigning
them a special IP address
range to minimise the
possibility of inappropriate
use. It is working very well
for us.

Uni Melb
No authentication mechanisms are
currently imposed to access electronic
Journals from campus Libraries and
staff and student work areas with
standard computer network outlets.
Students using the Wireless Network
on campus need to authenticate to join
that, and don't need to re-authenticate
to access a Journal.
Yes. The identifying data entered
by patrons is surname and library
barcode, which are verified against
the a centrally maintained
database, using home grown
software, not the WAM (Web
Access Management) from
Innopac.
For off campus access via the
Internet each member of the
University does this.
For off campus access using
the University operated dial-in
system authentication is not
required at present.
Uni NSW
[Same as Melbourne
Yes. Users are required to
authenticate themselves using the
campus wide LDAP authentication
system plus EZproxy
Uni Qld
No authentication mechanisms are
currently imposed to access licensed
electronic resources from campus
libraries and staff and student work
areas with standard computer network
outlets. Students using the Wireless
Network on campus need to
authenticate to join, and don't need to
re-authenticate to access electronic
resources
Yes. Clients are verified using an
API into the library system user
file. Ezproxy software is deployed
as a forwarding proxy service.
Additional authentication
processes are being developed
which will also allow patrons to
authenticate using a kerberos ID.
Any type of user on campus
can access all electronic
licensed resources. Off
campus access is as
described above – for current
staff and students only.
For off campus access via the
Internet each member of the
University does this. For off
campus access using the
University operated dial-in
system authentication is not
required at present.
Uni SA
Shared responsibility. Authentication
mechanisms for electronic services are
managed by the Library but access to
the Internet as a whole is a Universitywide (IT) responsibility.
Yes. The identifying data entered
by patrons is surname and library
barcode. This is verified against
the centrally maintained Library
database (Voyager from
Endeavor) using either RPA from
Dynix or EZProxy.
CAUL JOURNAL ACCESS AND AUTHENTICATION SURVEY 2003
For off campus access via the
Internet each member of the
University does this as
described above.
On campus access is also
restricted. The University has
Internet use and print quotas
in place. All users must use
an authenticated logon to any
computer connected to the
University network.
Q 1.4
How are semi-autonomous
bodies handed with respect to
electronic journal access if they
are connected to your
University's computer
network?- Are they separated in
some manner or how is this
arranged via license
agreements?
If they are on the University
Network in the main network
number (Internet Protocol) range
they have access.
If the body is connected to the
University Network but has a
independent number range then
access is authenticated as if they
were connecting through the
Internet.
All connection within the campus
IP ranges have unrestricted
access
If they are on the University
Network in the main network
number (Internet Protocol) range
they have access. If the body is
connected to
the University Network but has a
independent number range then
access is authenticated as if they
were connecting through the
Internet.
If they are on the University
Network in the main network
number (Internet Protocol) range
and have a University issued
logon, they have access.
Access outside of the University
requires users to be added to the
Library system. This in turn
requires completion of an
agreement countersigned by the
head of an academic school or
University research centre.

Q 1.3
Do each of staff, students

electronic Journals?
Uni WA
On campus access is authenticated by
UWA IP address. The staff and
students do not need to enter any
identifying data.
Anyone accessing via a UWA
IP range whether on or off
campus does not need to
authenticate. If accessing via
a non UWA IP they do have
to authenticate.
Uni W Syd
No authentication mechanisms are
currently imposed to access electronic
Journals from campus Libraries and
staff and student work areas with
standard computer network outlets.
Yes. UWA uses EzProxy for
students and staff accessing via a
non UWA IP address. The
identifying data is staff/student
number and library card number.
This is authenticated against the
patron record held in the Library's
catalogue managament system.
Yes. EZProxy is used to
authenticate patrons, using the
identifying data of surname and
library barcode. This is verified
against a current parton file
extracted from Voyager each night
using specified patron categories.
VUT
Generally no on campus authentication
for access to electronic journals is in
place. (IP verification is in place with
publisher's at an institutional level) In
one or two cases individual publishers
have asked us to authenticate on
campus as well as off. In these cases
we use Innopac's Web Access
Management software and the staff
member/ student enters their VU ID
number and Library PIN.
CAUL JOURNAL ACCESS AND AUTHENTICATION SURVEY 2003
Yes. The identifying data is VU
Student/Staff ID and Library PIN.
We use Innopac's Web Access
Management software and the
data is checked against our
Innopac Patron Database.
On campus, no authentication
is currently needed. From off
campus, staff and students
usingt he University dial-in
system do not need to reauthenticate From off
campus, staff and students
using a private ISP need to
authenticate for access.
Remote access to subscribed
services is not available for
visitors or reciprocal
borrowers.
For the majority of access on
campus - automatic IP
verification is in place
(Exceptions are where
publisher's have asked for
additional verification via
WAM.These in the minority).
For off campus access via the
Internet all clients need to
authenticate.
Q 1.4
How are semi-autonomous
bodies handed with respect to
electronic journal access if they
are connected to your
University's computer
network?- Are they separated in
some manner or how is this
arranged via license
agreements?
There is currently no distinction
made for semi-autonomous
bodies. If they are accessing via a
UWA IP they will have access to
the electronic journals.
If they are on the University
Network in the main network
number (Internet Protocol) range
they have access. Currently, no
bodies fall into this area for UWS.
At this stage we have not had this
issue as we don't really have any
sem-autonomous bodies using
electronic resources and have not
negotiated separate licences at
this stage.. If they are part of the
University operation to the extent
that they were included on
University Network and are part of
our main ip range, they would
have access on site. Similarly if
they are included on the
HR/Student admin system, they
will be included in the download of
patron records to the Library
system, providing them with off
campus access. We may be facing
this issue increasingly in the
future.

Q 1.3
Do each of staff, students
and visitors need to
authenticate to access

Yes. Links to electronically subscribed
journals require users to authenticate
against a central authentication
system, which is accessed via a
University proxy server or Ezproxy
server. Users authenticate using their
university email username and
password. For a very limited number of
resources specific logins and
passwords are required.
Yes. As most journals use IP
authentication, users at home
access these resources via an
Ezproxy server. Staff and
students authenticate themselves
to the EZproxy server using their
standard username and password
for University email.
Staff and students need to
authenticate using their
university email username
and password. Visitors
cannot authenticate directly
but the Library maintains a

Q 2.1
What proportion of your electronic
journal license agreements allow
any
person with access to your
University's network to use the
agreement?
Our major subscriptions are Science
Direct and Blackwell Science. Both
state that users need to be current
studetns and current staff or be
permitted to access the secure network
on campus ( which is OK for our
CRCs). We have not individually
checked each EBSCO online title
since we restrict our access to NTU
staff and students and those with
Computer accounts issued by our
ITMS department.
All licenses provide access to all
current QUT staff and students.
Some license include clauses to offshore access limitations. Most license
agreements provide for walk-in user
access. No licenses allow non-affiliated
remote access.
Many resource licences allow "walkin"
users to access resources, but as they
don't have a Novell login and EZ Proxy
login, in practice they
cannot access resources.

invisible becuase they are included
in costs for staff and students.
There is no model to identify them.
We have no additional costs
related to broader access, and
there is no model.

Uni SA
The licences cover only our own staff
and students - "walk in" use on our

users to have a University/Library
account restricts "walk-in" use to
dedicated computers. Access to some
electronic services has been provided
for a specific (non-UniSA) user group
through negotiation and agreement
with individual vendors.
Additional costs incurred for
licenses that are extended in
scope are met by the group
serviced.
Uni WA
Generally our license agreements for
electronic journals allow access to
UWA staff and students from any
location. They also allow access for
other users such as special borrowers,
reciprocal borrowers and members of
the public from terminals specifically
within the Library (ie walk in use). That
is, they allow access for any person
with access to the University's network
from within the Library.

There is no set model for
recouping additional costs incurred

However, on occasions where a
license has been extended (for
example, to cover access via

Q 2.1
What proportion of your electronic
journal license agreements allow
any
person with access to your
University's network to use the
agreement?
Licences cover only Wollongong
University staff and students. Many
allow walkin users to use the resources
while in the Library. No licences state
that anybody with access to the
University network has automatic right
to access the resource.

There is no mechanism to manage
any additional costs that would be
related to providing broader

Q 3.1
Does your institution allow semiautonomous bodies to use your

Q3.2
Are staff of affiliated or semiautonomous bodies also

At this stage we do not have semiautonomous bodies, so does not apply
See answer (above) to question on
semi-autonomous bodies.
As above
As above
As above
Not usually. They would only be
considered CSU staff if their
substantive duties relate to CSU
and they are paid by CSU.
Yes, in some cases.
Access is limited to those who
have authentication logins as
described above.
Yes, specifically approved semiautonomous and affiliated bodies
connect to our network meeting all
connection and ongoing costs.
Q 3.3
Do affiliated or semiautonomous bodies use part
of the institutions
main network number
(Internet protocol) ranges?
Yes due to the level of
difficulty and cost to such
small bodies of obtaining their
our network number space.
Q 3.4
How is electronic Journal
access managed at locations
where University
and non-University staff are colocated?
If they do not use University
network numbers then remote
access authentication is required.
If they are on the University
network number range then Uni
staff and students at the site have
unauthenticated access.
Not really applicable as all Deakin
staff have access to EzProxy
remote authentication.

No
Staff from semi-autonomous
bodies are not as rule University
staff but some staff have dual roles
and there are different degrees of
connection between such bodies
and the University
No. Not applicable.
Flinders
Staff of affiliated bodies with academic
status have access to the
University network
If staff have academic status they
are considered to be staff of the
institution
No
Griffith
Access is determined on the basis of
the ability of a person to access
the university network. Only staff and
students officially recognised
as being members of the university
community are eligible for network
access. If a person can access the
university network they will be able
to access the full e-journal resources.
No, but note response above re
meaning of"semi-autonomous bodies".
Staff from semi autonomous
bodies are not as rule University
staff but some staff have dual roles
and there are different degrees of
connection between such bodies
and the University. As indicated
above, access to the university
network is the primary factor
controlling access to e-journals.
No. However, if staff from
affiliated bodies have dual roles
they may be registered as staff of
the University e.g. staff teaching in
health sciences but
having their primary employment
in a hospital.
Members of such bodies
need a university staff ID in
order to be able setup access
via our virtual private network.
If they do not have a staff ID
they do not get access.
If they do not use University
network numbers then remote
access (VPN) authentication is
required. If they are on the
University network number range
then Uni staff and students at the
site have unauthenticated access.
No
Yes, for example our CRCs.
Not usually, unless the staff have
dual roles.
Yes
If the computers are not on the
University network, authentication
is required. At some locations of
this nature (e.g. a hospital), the
University has implemented a
subnet for the use of those people
who are University staff, and
authentication for remote access
to e-journals is not required.
If they are paid by NTU they get a
University logon to access
computing services remotely.

Q 3.1
Does your institution allow semiautonomous bodies to use your
Internet
services (and hence access
Journals through the University)?
Q3.2
Are staff of affiliated or semiautonomous bodies also
considered staff
of your institution?
The Library relies on the QUT wide
Access Account system. Only people
or groups who have been giventhis
status will therefore have the QUT user
names and passwords. There is
always pressure from within the
Univesrity to allow various associated
bodies/groups to gain access to the
Library databases. There are some
grey areas here eg when Deans certify
individuals as staff or visiting staff.
No. Not unless their staff are members
of the Swinburne staff.
The Library relies on the QUT wide
Access Account system. This is
restricted to QUT staff and
students and therefore members
of semi-autonomous bodies would
not normally qualify. Some visiting
staff will have been given
temporary QUT user names and
passwords.
No, where our staff work at other sites
(for instance within Department Of
Primary industry), they have access to
the University network as though
they are on-campus, through special
arrangements with firewalls etc.
Yes, specifically approved semiautonomous and affiliated bodies
connect to our network meeting all
connection and ongoing costs.

Q 3.4
How is electronic Journal
access managed at locations
where University

No, not usually. It partly depends
on the meaning of "affiliated or
semi-autonomous".
No
Yes
All access is via EZ Proxy
No
Their machines will have IP
address ranges considered to be
University Of Tasmania machines,
and therefore part of our network
proper
Staff from semi-autonomous
bodies are not as rule University
staff but some staff have dual roles
and there are different degrees of
connection between such bodies
and the University.
Yes due to the level of
difficulty and cost to such

access authentication is required.
If they are on the University

Yes, specifically approved semiautonomous and affiliated bodies
connect to our network meeting all
connection and ongoing costs.
It depends on the degree of
affilialtion. If they are included on
the staff system, they are
automatically included. Other
affilations are considered on a
case-by-case basis. However, the
number of these affiliations seems
to be expanding rapidly.
Yes due to the level of
difficulty and cost to such
small bodies of obtaining their

If they do not use University

Uni SA
Yes, specifically approved semiautonomous and affiliated bodies are
issued with a University network
account and can thus connect to
electronic services. No off-campus
access is provided.
Varies. Staff from semiautonomous bodies are not as
rule University staff but some staff
have dual roles and there are
different degrees of connection
between such bodies and the
University. If they do not appear
on the University HR systems
they are required to complete an

head of an academic school or
University research center.
Varies according to the
nature of the body and their
relationship to the University.
If they do not use University
network numbers then remote
access authentication is required.
If they are on the University
network number range they still
require a University network
account and logon.
Uni WA

Currently Internet access and journals
have not been made available to
affiliated bodies but we do expect there
to be further demand for this in the
future.
Staff from semi-autonomous

At this stage - no. They have
their own network access.
Authentication remains as IP or
EzProxy.
If they do not use University
network numbers then remote
access authentication is required.
If they are on the University
network number range then Uni
staff and students at the site have
unauthenticated access.
If they were not within the
University IP range - remote
access authentication is required.
If they were within the University
IPr range then Uni staff and
students at the site have IP
authenticated access.
Wollongong
Yes, such bodies are allowed to use
the University network and thus have
access to subscribed electronic
resources
They are not considered part of
the staff of the university but they
often have some privileges of staff.
This varies considerably.
Yes they are in the main
campus IP range and
because proxy server
software is used they cannot
readily be isolated.
CAUL JOURNAL ACCESS AND AUTHENTICATION SURVEY 2003
If they are within the University IP
range they have access.
