Gale has the ability to allow users to log in remotely to the Gale databases using a library barcode. If your institution uses barcodes or patron IDs where the first several characters are similar and they are all the same number in length Gale can set up Remote Patron Authentication with this information.
Example barcodes: 53233123456789, 53233023432458, 53233875434901
Where the first 5 digits are the same and the total number of digits is 14 for all of your barcodes.
