Access and Set-Up Information

IP Address Registration and Remote Login

When users are onsite at your library/school, the resource links will provide automatic access if your external (public) IP address(es) are registered with us. Registered IP addresses are also used to track usage for your library. Note, proxy server IP addresses should also be sent for registration - see Learning Technology Integration section for more details on setting up proxy server access.

Verify, update, or add IP address(es) for access and tracking usage.

When users are at locations outside of your library/school, the resource links will automatically prompt for a login.

Verify, update, or add a remote login for your library.

BadgerLink Resource Links & Logos

Unless your library is using a separate learning technology, ensure correct access on your website with these resource links. The file contains a complete listing as well as separate tabs for K12 grade levels and the public library; simply copy and paste the individual resource links to your site. Add the BadgerLink logo if linking to the website instead of directly to a resource.
