ABSTRACT:
A system for organizing access to a database that is distributed over an electronic network includes a system site on a dedicated server. A list of addresses to approved database sites on an electronic network stored on the system site is accessed by a user with a browser application. Reference cards permit the user to search and review the list of approved sites. In a first preferred embodiment, a request for access to a database site is made to the dedicated server. Access is denied for a non-approved site. An approved database is retrieved by the dedicated server. Each database link to an approved site is modified from direct to indirect to require all future access to be directed through the dedicated server. Links not in the list of approved sites will have their access denied. In a second, equally preferred embodiment, code defining a database location is removed at the dedicated server to de-activate links to non-approved database sites. The words representing the de-activated links are bleached of any indicia that represent the previous electronic network link. In a third embodiment of the invention, a framed screen display overrides the browser application display to prevent a user from defining a location for independent access to the electronic network. The only access to the electronic network is provided through the dedicated server and the user is thereby restricted to accessing the approved sites.
