Ingram will authenticate DOD users via a new robust methodology that integrates seamlessly with the DOD’s knowledge portals. This new methodology, Personal Account Self Service (PASS) allows users to create personal accounts to checkout and download audio titles after authenticating against the library’s IP addresses. Once a personal account has been set up, the user can access the library’s collection, check out, and download audio titles remotely from anywhere in the world by logging into their personal account.
