Hi Dominic,
I believe that BSI will be offering Shibboleth / UK federated access -I'll check with Jisc Collections and get back to you.
I hope that helps
Mark

Hello Sara,
We've been waiting for years for federated access BSI currently offers authentication via Athens, IP or blind login but not Shibboleth.
We have asked SCONUL and various accreditation bodies to take up this issue on our behalf. We believe that the DRM already in place should provide adequate protection. If the system was configured to prevent systematic downloading then there would not be any reason to place an additional barrier to access. Other publishers manage download caps effectively so why not BSI?
Kind regards,
Dom Benson

Hello Sharon,
I'd be interested to know more about this service provider. Could you
provide me with a website link and/or entity ID for them, please?
Many thanks,
