**Apologises for cross posting**

I am just passing on some news that I hope is of interest to the
readers of Liblicense.

OpenAthens, a leading provider of single sign on services for
libraries and publishers has just released Redirector, a product
feature that simplifies link management for librarians. As
importantly, Redirector enables access to libraries' subscribed
content from 'off-network' devices, enabling simpler management for
mobile access.

With Redirector, OpenAthens has enabled a seamless one-click user
experience for library patrons on devices out of their institution's
IP range.

Full details are in the press release below or online.

To learn more, please contact Jon Bentley, Head of Product Marketing, directly.

PRESS RELEASE

OpenAthens launches new feature – Redirector – for mobile library access

OpenAthens – a leading provider of single sign-on services for
libraries and publishers – announces the launch of a major new
feature: Redirector.
OpenAthens' Redirector provides one-step access to subscription and
other paid-for content by seamlessly requesting credentials when
patrons are off-network and directly serving the content when they are
in IP range. The proxy-like syntax eases the burden of link management
for librarians and provides a seamless experience for users, who are
increasingly demanding off-site and mobile access.

 “Librarians and IT managers are faced with increasingly complex
identity and access management [IAM] challenges,” said Jon Bentley,
Head of Product Marketing for OpenAthens. “Students, researchers and
clinicians increasingly need access to content wherever they are
working or studying – at home, in the clinic, on the move – without
time-intensive, complicated configurations.  The Redirector in
OpenAthens offers a seamless user experience without a tradeoff in
security when users are out of IP range.”

Redirector provides one link for resource access, on and off the
network and one format for all compatible resources. In addition,
Redirector interfaces with the OpenAthens knowledgebase, which stores
and maintains all required URL formats.
