For users who want to create lists, e-mail records, print, export to RefWorks, an account must first be created From the index display there is no indication of which of the USF Libraries holds the title as there is no way to limit by library/location Users and staff appear to prefer our local catalog

10. Authentication for NetLibrary not supported from a referring URL; IP authentication only USF Challenges
