== Auth Module (Developer Notes) ==
The Auth module extends functionality available from the [Authlogic|http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic] (version 2.1.0) gem and included in the lib directory based on the [Authlogic OpenID add-on|http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic_openid].'
=== Auth Module Example ===
AuthPDS was developed at NYU as an example of generating a plugin and populating the stub methods provided.
At NYU we're currently using the Auth module in our holdings table to offer request functionality based on "patron status". We display a request button, if the patron has the appropriate status to be able to request/page items and use a custom controller to provide this functionality seamlessly.

==== Screenshots of Request Functionality ====
