Description
Proxy logs offer a wealth of information for libraries. In addition to helping with collection development and access issues, they provide data for security breaches and excessive use. How are bots or hackers getting through the authentication process? How are they not being caught by the vendor or the proxy service? Kristin Rogers takes a look at what data proxy logs can provide to see if use is legit or a result of a breach.
