IPA Source is pleased to now offer access for our institutional customers via OpenAthens authentication. If your institution is an OpenAthens Federation member, access to IPA Source content has never been easier.
Why OpenAthens?
- OpenAthens simplifies access to your library’s resources: Their single sign-on approach allows you easy access with one username and password; making it easier for you to authenticate once and access all your e-resources.
- Secure access: Only your authenticated library patrons can access your e-resources, helping institutions meet data protection governance and compliance requirements including GDPR, VPAT and ISO 27001. In addition to users signing into all e-resources using a single account, data attributes on that account – such as roles or group attributes – can be used to permit or restrict access to individual e-resources. This puts resource access control in the library’s hands.
IPA Source Offers A Variety of Methods For Institutional Access
IPA Source continues to offer authentication to our content via IP address (IP Authentication), SAML-based SSO, and IP Proxy (i.e. EZProxy). As a new member of the OpenAthens Federation, IPA Source is pleased to now be able to offer this additional access option to our institutional customers.
