This script can currently check for access for the following platforms/vendors (so far):

    • Use of this is not recommended unless you have a very small set of titles to check. Readex blocked the IP of the staff member who was running the checker across the collection and complained --- that's the first time this had happened. They said their tech staff would be willing to work with me to develop a method for checking that wouldn't raise flags on their end, but that has been low on my to-do list.
