About me

I spent 15 years on the vendor side of library technology (Swets, Springer Nature, PressReader), which means I've seen your proxy stanza failures from the other end of the support ticket. Trust me, neither side was having a good time.
I built PatronPath so you find out before your faculty do. It walks your A-Z list like an off-campus patron who has somewhere to be. Real browser. Real proxy or SSO auth. Real page load. If your link checker says everything is fine but a faculty member says otherwise, your link checker is lying.
Running pilots now. Buy me a coffee and I'll show you a sample failure report. Fair warning: you may recognize some of your own databases.
