PRESS RELEASE
Abingdon, United Kingdom
25th March, 2009
SwetsWise Online Content now available via Shibboleth authentication
Following the announcement in 2008 that Swets had become a member of the
UK Access Management Federation, Swets is pleased to announce that
SwetsWise Online Content is now accessible via Shibboleth
authentication.
Shibboleth authentication allows libraries to control access to their
online resources and simplifies the management of identity and
permissions for organisations supporting users and applications. It
provides end users with a single institutional login username and
password, allowing easy access to a number of different electronic
resources.
"Following a successful test phase in the UK, I am delighted that we are
able to offer Shibboleth authentication via SwetsWise Online Content"
said Tamsyn Honour, Commercial Manager at Swets in the UK. "By offering
our customers an additional authentication mechanism, users now have the
choice to gain access to SwetsWise Online Content through Shibboleth,
Athens and IP authentication, making SwetsWise compliant with all access
requirements".
SwetsWise Online Content offers over 25 million searchable references
along with links to full-text articles through an intuitive Web
interface. This service also provides informative usage statistics on
each title, and includes fast access set-up for new electronic journal
subscriptions.
If you are a member of the UK Access Management Federation and would
like to gain access via Shibboleth, please contact your Swets Customer
Account Manager.
