Hi Code4Libbers,

Slightly odd question for you academic library folks.  Why does your
library have its website where it is on the university site?  For context,
the library I currently work at has our library site hidden within the
campus intranet/portal, so that students have to log into a web portal to
even see the search page.  This was a decision by the previous director who
was here before my time and an assortment of us librarians think this is a
terrible setup.  So I wanted to kick out to the greater community to give
us good reasons for free to the website to more general access, or help us
to understand why you would bury it behind a login like they did.  All
thoughts, insights, and opinions are welcome, they all help us develop our
thinking on this and our arguments for any changes we want to make.  Thanks
everyone and have a good week.
