HEAR WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAYFeatures
One username and password
OpenAthens establishes one set of log-in credentials for all web resources and applications. There is no need to manage multiple start and end dates for each licence. Subscribers can sign-in and access the information they are looking for without unnecessary barriers or complications.
Access rights and permissions
OpenAthens provides flexible control for managing access rights to groups of users. Using new or existing attributes and categories a knowledge manager can control access to specific resources based on licensing requirements as well as the structure and strategic focus of their organization.
Statistics and data
Comprehensive usage statistics show how often content is accessed and by whom giving the team who manage the information insight into the value of the subscriptions and detail into which parts of their organization engage most regularly with their services.
Seamless off-site and on-site access
OpenAthens integrates with institutions who still rely on IP authentication. Single links are created that allow patrons and end-users access the information needed whether they are located within their organization or working off-site. It also enables access for people using mobile devices to reach the information they need.
Easy integration with IT
OpenAthens is designed specifically for librarians to manage authentication and end user accounts. Once the user accounts have been set up and established the dashboard provides a responsive and intuitive user interface that manages these users and then provides control to the information they can access.
Support for today and the future
OpenAthens is built on international standards. Our fully supported software and ITIL accredited service desk ensure these standards are maintained for all our customers. As the technology evolves, OpenAthens evolves with it.
