Configuration of IP authentication will move from EBSCOadmin to EBSCO Experience Manager. Administrators will benefit from self-supported IP configuration in a modern and intuitive UI.
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. This work will allow for more secure, standard authentication and role-based access control for EEM, an interface where product configuration is increasingly homed. Administrators can easily connect to their SAML Identity Provider using the setup wizard, and granularly manage permissions for administrative access.
Personalized users can add up to 50 records at a time to a Project of their choice, whether existing or new, directly from the results page
The new interlibrary loan (ILL) form is designed to seamlessly integrate with EBSCO’s New UI. This form has several enhanced features:
1. EEM Module: Easily create and manage ILL forms with the new EEM module.
2. Entitlement API Integration: Users will be informed about the availability of a copy through EBSCO full text, SmartLinks+, or Unpaywall before submitting their request.
3. EBSCO SSO Integration: Automatic population of user information with EBSCO Single Sign-On.
4. Multilingual Support: Access the form in all languages supported by EBSCO.
When configured by their administrator, users can use their institutional email address to obtain a one-time code to access EBSCO resources. This new authentication method is primarily intended for institutions without a remote authentication method, such as a proxy or single sign-on
“My Dashboard” is now collapsed by default on Explora. Users can click on the “My Dashboard” header to expand it. After expanding this menu, it will remain expanded as users navigate through the interface. Users can also collapse it again by clicking on the “My Dashboard” header, and it will remain collapsed until expanded again.
Users can search FMO in additional languages, including several languages that use non-Latin characters
Many users who reach the EBSCO log in page attempt to log in by entering their institutional email address in the username field. With this enhancement, if the email domain has been configured as a trusted email domain for the institution, the user will be asked if they'd like to access EBSCO through their institution's preferred authentication method
The login pages used for patterned ID and patron ID authentication have been updated to reflect the design of the new EBSCO login page. With this update, the page now displays the institution name and logo, increasing user confidence
