Thanks for sharing this approach. Certainly sounds promising. I'll explore this and let the group know how this works out in case others are interested in this ability.</div>

We have had Films on Demand's LTI set up and that helped with a few students who needed access to films. How this one works at the moment, in our set-up at least, is that the films need to be embedded into a page for students. The LTI appears within the WYSIWYG
editor. I haven't looked into how to enable student searching. </div>

<p class="x_xmsonormal">Ryer,</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">It looks to me like authentication is operational at Centralia, appeas to be operational for Canvas and Email:</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"><a href="http://www.centralia.edu/resources/current.aspx">Current Students / Logins (centralia.edu)</a></p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">So, seems like it would be available for EZProxy as well.
</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">And I would be surprised if they don’t have at least one server running locally or in AWS or Azure where they could install EZProxy.</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">OpenAthens requires campus authentication, and is a more complex solution than EZProxy.</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">You could look at whether the big 3 (ProQuest / Gale / Ebsco) still support barcodes for account authentication. You upload a set of IDs to the vendor, or specify a barcode pattern, and those IDs are used on the vendor side as per-user
authentication. It’s what a lot of public libraries do, or used to do. I’m guessing it’s still a thing.</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Another workaround would be to join the LIRN consortium (<a href="http://www.lirn.org">www.lirn.org</a>) for $1,000 / year, which gives you access to their custom proxy service (<a href="https://www.lirn.net/products-and-services/lirn-services/lirn-proxy/">LIRNProxy
| Library & Information Resources Network</a>). Their hosted proxy service utilizes something called LTI, which Canvas supports. It would basically do proxy authentication against your Canvas service. Setting this up would involve cooperation from your technology
organization.</p>
