Biography Reference Bank covers more than 170,000 names. The latest coverage of biographical subjects, as it appears in a wide range of serials, adds to and expands on the entries retrieved. Thousands of new names are added as biographical material appears in journals, magazines, and books. To access Wilson Databases on WWW, the system needs Internet access using Netscape 3.0 or higher or MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. If there are additional charges or requirements in order to offer remote access, please describe.
Remote access is included in the subscription price.
Please discuss any methods or assistance you offer regarding remote access patron verification and authentication. There are several options which are available to our WilsonWeb customers. Library patron barcode or ID accesses the library system as a gateway to WilsonWeb access. The authentication would occur before the patron is passed through the gateway on the library system side of the process. Then the library's IP address, or a range of IP address, would be used to authorize incoming search requests.
