Understanding eJournal Technology
Wednesday, 22 March, London
"This was probably the most comprehensive, educational and interesting course I have attended. Perfectly suited to my requirements." Jonathan Collard, British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery
"The detailed explanations of OpenURL, Athens & Shibboleth were incredibly useful as I had struggled to understand these previously. Thank you!" Caroline Tatam, Cambridge University Press
"The course enables you to make your knowledge of the e-journal technology more systematic and structured." Marcin Kwiatkowski, SAGE Publishing
Overview
This course will provide an insight into the technologies behind eJournal delivery, and help delegates understand the challenges faced by libraries in providing readers with access to their journals. The course will be business-centric - clearly positioning technologies in the context of the industry issues they aim to solve. Participants will learn how technology is used throughout the delivery of journals from publisher via library to the end-user.
Programme
* How users navigate to eJournal content: introducing the key discovery points for research - features and benefits of resource discovery, journal hosts, publisher websites, aggregators, search engines and library RDS; why librarians purchase access to starting points. Identifying the major players involved in eJournal provision; where do users choose to begin their research? Advances in user navigation; mobile-ready platforms
* How libraries manage e-resources: linking through URL and OpenURL, the development and importance of Link Servers; the role of library web pages, resource discovery services (RDS) and journals management tools used by libraries
* Authentication: user authentication methodologies and their limitations: IP address ranges, proxies, Athens, Shibboleth, and single-sign-on (SSO)
* Planning end-to-end reader navigation that works: from discovery to delivery
