Following an intensive period of configuration work, Shibboleth authentication has been enabled for a large number of additional resources. Links and prompts in eSearch and SFX have been updated accordingly. A detailed guide to using Shibboleth on each of the affected resources has been added to the eServices support wiki.
The resources now requiring a university username and password (Shibboleth) for off-campus access are as follows:
- CSA Illumina
- ANTE: Abstracts in New Technologies and Engineering
- ARTBiliographies Modern
- ASSIA: Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts
- Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals
- BHI: British Humanities Index
- Criminal Justice Abstracts
- DAAI: Design and Applied Arts Index
- ERIC
- Polymer Library
- Social Services Abstracts
- Sociological Abstracts
- EBSCOhost
- Abstracts in Social Gerontology
- Academic Search Elite
- Business Source Premier
- EconLit
- International Bibliography of the Social Sciences
- Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts
- PsycARTICLES
- PsycINFO
- Regional Business News
- Research Starters – Business
- Research Starters – Education
- SPORTDiscus
- Textile Technology Index
- Violence & Abuse Abstracts
- LexisNexis Butterworths (On-campus and off-campus)
- NexisUK
- Westlaw
For all of these resources, Athens authenticated access will continue to be available for the time being, in parallel with Shibboleth-based authentication – although LLR will be promoting Shibboleth access (“Using your university username and password”) in preference to Athens.
