I have set up an alternative login for every college so that the 24/7 coop librarians can actually access the databases for each college. It is part of the Policy page that is set up for every school and available to you from the Chat Monitor when working with a patron.
The problem with this alternative access is that it will only work if you are off campus, so it is usually of no help to the VCCS librarians. On campus, IP address trumps the alternative login.
The Policy page also has lots of other great info and direct links to info about that college's library. If you haven't used it before, take a look. When you are in a session, click on the word Policies to the right above the patron info box.
I was going to attached a screen print of the chat monitor and the policy page but I don't seem to have to option for attachments to this post! j
