A library user’s online experience must ensure easy, quick and secure access to resources by eliminating multiple logins and - at the same time - securing the user’s privacy rights. Key stakeholders discuss their experiences with OpenAthens in providing such seamless, secure authentication. Representatives from two different organizations discuss their discovery service, the power of single sign-on and the need to both solicit and secure user information. Stephen Ambra, Library Director at NHTI recently transitioned from proxy services to OpenAthens authentication services. Lucy Harrison, Executive Director of GALILEO, Georgia’s virtual library system, is in the implementation phase of OpenAthens for their entire system of libraries. This session will look at why OpenAthens was chosen to complement their services. Learn how NHTI is managing its resource investments more effectively and what GALILEO has planned for its system-wide rollout of OpenAthens.
