Coming in 2020: OpenAthens
Your colleagues in Technical and Web Services are working with campus ITS on a new form of authentication for remote library users.
Beginning in January 2020, the Libraries will offer remote access through a world-wide service known as OpenAthens. OpenAthens is an identity and IP-based authentication system that provides access to our licensed online resources via single sign-on (SSO) technology. OpenAthens offers a more secure and reliable experience for our remote users, without the “proxy error,” “cache error,” “upstream error” and other annoyances that have proliferated in the last few years. On-campus users will still navigate directly to resources without a login. Off-campus users will see the familiar campus login page and will use their UARK email and password for access to resources.
We’re testing links, contacting vendors, and setting up special categories of users (for example, Law-only resources) now. In early January, every proxied link–in the catalog, on the website, in LibGuides, in Course Reserves, and everywhere else–will need to change. Stay tuned for actions you will want to take to ensure your links are configured to make use of OpenAthens authentication. In the mean time, send your questions and comments to libweb@uark.edu.
Shout Out (n.) informal. A message of support, appreciation or congratulation.
Melody Herr and Cedar Middleton would like to give a big shout out to Donna Daniels for being a great advocate and librarian for her faculty and departments but also for the Office of Scholarly Communications. She helped us recruit the Terrorism Research Center for the repository. Thank you Donna!
