Serials Solutions, a US-based provider of tools and services for libraries and a business unit of ProQuest LLC, has announced the availability of the industry's first hosted proxy service, 360 Access Control. 360 Access Control claims to be the industry's first Software as a Service (SaaS) proxy solution that seeks to help librarians streamline the management of their e-resource collections, as well as improve patron access to those collections with a single sign-on.
Many librarians need the single sign-on offered by proxy services, which allow users to quickly access e-resources from all content providers without having to sign in repeatedly to access specific information. However, at the same time, librarians also want an easy-to-manage solution that is integrated with their data management workflow. With a hosted solution like 360 Access Control, librarians can take advantage of all the patron benefits of a proxy service and gain the benefits of automated administration capabilities.
Another key aspect of 360 Access Control is its integration with Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks, the company's comprehensive knowledgebase for its 360 family of services. KnowledgeWorks is populated with the most accurate metadata available from content providers around the world, an essential ingredient for reliable searching, linking and access.
