Geo-IP

Geo-IP links will work anywhere in the state of Michigan and outside of the state with a library card. They do not allow you to record statistics specific to your area. If you are within Michigan and it asks you to log in, contact MeL eResources Support Staff (melerhelp@mcls.org) for more details. To register or report any additions or changes to your library's IP address, use the IP Reporting Form.

Direct Links

Direct links will only work on a specific IP address, but the positive is that you can get statistics to see how many people are using a certain resource at your location.
