E-Resource Access and Management Services (ERAMS) provider Serials Solutions, US, has announced Single Sign-On (SSO) access control for the Serials Solutions 360 Link OpenURL link resolver service and 360 Core E-Journal Portal A-to-Z list. The SSO authentication capability ensures that librarians can serve their remote users with the same level of consideration and access as they do local users.
Many subscription resources now are protected using Athens or Shibboleth authentication methods and 360 Link and the 360 Core E-Journal Portal are compatible with both. When SSO is activated in 360 Link and 360 Core, library users only have to authenticate once per browsing session and are able to easily move between the Serials Solutions interfaces and native resource interfaces without re-entering login information.
In July 2008, Serials Solutions enhanced the 360 Search federated search service with SSO capabilities. By expanding the enhancement to 360 Link and the 360 Core E-Journal Portal, Serials Solutions seeks to help librarians make it easier for users to access the full breadth of the library's collection, whether they are remote or local.
