I'd like to explore a method of managing access to links to
e-resources (856 fields)  that would (1) prevent an anonymous user
from navigating to the full-text of an e-resource via the 856 link;
and (2) to show an 856  link to the full-text of an e-resource to
authenticated users.
Just be aware that hiding a URL from someone is not a viable method of
securing content. URLs are not intended to be secret and treating them
like they are is a bad idea. Instead, you'll want a layer of
authentication protecting the actual resource behind that URL.
