[Koha] links in the 856 field

[Elaine Bradtke]

Wondering if this would be a workaround?
If you made the link to a site that required a login would that control the
access? If someone was connecting from a library computer, you could set up
an autologin so readers could go straight through.  But without that login,
someone from outside could not get in. It's not perfect, as readers using
their own laptops would probably like to be able to go directly into the
site.  But there are also some clever tricks you can do with limiting
access to certain IP addresses, you should talk to whomever handles the
technical side of things about that. In either case, it would have to bolt
onto the front of whatever site you're using to store the digital material..
