USF Challenges
Functionality exists at the record level only with account creation. 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
Authentication for NetLibrary not supported from a referring URL; IP authentication only
