What is Database Branding?

When logged in properly, users will see some form of branding or text that tells them that access is provided by WVU. There are some resources that do not have this branding.

Another way to tell if you are authenticated through WVU is by the proxy string in the URL. Example URL: https://www-tandfonline-com.wvu.idm.oclc.org/loi/rard20
