Of the 5 responses I received: 3 libraries added links onto their library catalogue with preference of direct links to the e-journal title. If it wasn't possible to link directly to the e-journal title, 2 libraries also had links on the e-journal record to password pages so that clients could access the passwords. Of these 2 libraries the link to the password for 1 library was passworded to get access to the passwords. The other library used IP verfication to allow clients to access the password (ie on site/campus). In regards to the phrases used on the library catalogue to reflect use by only some clients, 3 libraries used (or very similar): "Access restricted to valid ....... users (staff or students). Ask reference librarians to sign you on." One of the libraries included a link directly to their policy page for their e-journals. The other library used: (A) click here to view issues. 1997- (..... users only) (B) click here for Wiley interscience ejournals (.... users only) Thanks to those who responded. I hope this information helps others, it certainly helped me.
