It chooses the first because it will have the most IP address recognition links.</p> <p>Example 2: Library B has three FirstSearch authorizations.</p> <ul> <li>The first is its authorization that is part of a FirstSearch consortium that provides access to a few popular FirstSearch databases.</li> <li>The second is the authorization for its individual FirstSearch account (not part of a consortium) that provides access to several databases not included in the consortium.</li> <li>The third is an authorization shared by all members of the consortium; it does not belong to Library B.</li> </ul> <p>Library B must choose the first authorization, which belongs to the same institution as the second authorization and the same consortium as the third. Library B may not choose the second or third authorization because they do not belong to the same institution or consortium.</p> </div></div> <div class="text parbase section"> <div
