E-Resource Access and Management Services (ERAMS) provider Serials Solutions, US, a business unit of ProQuest, has announced that it is developing Serials Solutions Access Control Service, a hosted authentication and proxy service that will improve access for users and free up library staff time. Access Control Service is expected to simplify the process of accessing library resources from remote locations, combine data management with access control, and eliminate the current requirement for IT resources to implement and manage this service.
Available later in 2010, Serials Solutions Access Control Service will authenticate users, verify their entitlement to electronic resources, and then, connect them to the library's subscribed content providers. Further, libraries will be able to consolidate management of their e-resource subscription data and its access control through the Serials Solutions Client Center, which will include a user authentication component and a Software as a Service (SaaS) proxy.
Serials Solutions Access Control Service is part of the company's overall mission to provide simple solutions to everyday issues that surround e-resources.
