Additional information

Library licences offer unlimited access for library staff and members.

There are multiple ways in which library staff and users can access www.whoelsewriteslike.com.

  • Card Number Login – users can enter their library card number to login to www.whoelsewriteslike.com. Card number authentication allows users to access the site remotely as well as from within the library
  • Username & Password – staff can be assigned a unique Username and Password
  • IP Based Login – the IP addresses of library computers can be registered to provide automatic login for users
  • URL Based Login – users are automatically logged on when visiting a license‑specific URL. This link must be published on a secure website, but has the advantage of offering offsite access for users

Access is configured via an easy to follow administration area of the website
