SPIE OpenAthens partnership

20 January 2020

SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, has announced a new partnership with OpenAthens, an identity and access management service supplied by Jisc.

The new collaboration will use OpenAthens’ institutional authentication for each of SPIE’s digital library partner platforms, including the Society’s own SPIE Digital Library site.

With its organisation-discovery service Wayfarer option and active support of RA21 recommended practices, the OpenAthens partnership with SPIE is intended to ensure that all digital library platforms that SPIE supports will be able to use OpenAthens’ technology.
