I have received the following response from Laura Watts at Billetts
Media Monitoring regarding access to the Creative Club resource:
----------------------------------------
To Creative Club Subscribers,
I am your account manager for Creative Club. Thank you for getting in
touch about the Athens log in.
We had the understanding that all JISC suppliers were to move to
Shibboleth access and the institutions were to access Creative Club via
Shibboleth rather than Athens for the 2010 subscription. For this reason
we cancelled the Athens log in.
As there seems to be an issue with institutions subscribing to
Shibboleth we will re-instate the Athens log in access for all users
until a time when everyone has Shibboleth access.
Could you please post an email for me on the JISC mailing lists to say
that Athens Log In will be re-instated?
Kind regards,
Laura
-----------------------------------------
De Montfort University uses OpenAthens as its Shibboleth identity
provider, so I am still unsure of if Athens authentication will be
accepted by Creative Club in the long term. I have replied to Laura with
my concerns.
If individual institutions need to contact Billetts regarding this
problem, you can contact Laura Watts by email at the following address -

Subject: [LIS-E-RESOURCES] Creative Club - Athens
Hello,
Wondering: does anyone have any details about changes to the
authentication options for Creative Club (www.creativeclub.co.uk) ?
Athens option has disappeared (I can't find any notification of this,
but it's quite possible I have misfiled it!) and our access was
interrupted.
Could I ask any C.C. subscribers:
*Is your (Athens?) access to Creative Club working?
*If you've moved to Shibboleth login option - have you managed to create
a WAYFless URL ?
*Does anyone have any documentation/notification about the change /
removal of Athens access that they'd be willing to share?
With very many thanks,
Paul
