NoveList Select is now available in the latest versions of EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and EBSCOhost, enhancing these interfaces with detailed book recommendations, series titles in reading order, and other helpful information from NoveList to assist both library staff and users in finding great next reads with expertly curated read-alikes.
Library administrators will be able to configure and use their institution's SAML Single Sign-On (such as OpenAthens, MS Entra, or Shibboleth) for access to EBSCO Experience Manager.

Administrators can easily connect to their SAML Identity Provider using the setup wizard, and granularly manage permissions for administrative access.
