OpenAthens has announced the launch of its new embeddable version of Wayfinder organisational discovery service.
Wayfinder enables users to rely on a single secure login to access all the online resources their organisation subscribes to – they simply enter their home organisation or email address into the search bar to login. The service is now available as a tool or overlay that can be embedded in any publisher or library’s website as well as in hosted form.
With Wayfinder, a user’s search automatically covers all known identity federations a publisher is a member of, without the user needing to be aware of them. This means learners and researchers can log in securely just once to all the multiple online resources that their organisations subscribe to, with their user privacy preserved.
