Clever is a portal-style single sign-on system used by schools and school districts. EBSCO is building a new, more straightforward integration with Clever that will be more sustainable and easier to set up.
For customers using both EBSCO Discovery Service and StackMap, this integration will allow a “Map It” button to appear on the Real Time Availability Check (RTAC) table next to a physical item held in the library’s collection. When clicked, the button opens a new tab that displays the StackMap finding aid so the user can easily locate the item within the library.
EBSCO is adopting a new Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution for EBSCO eBooks, Readium LCP DRM, offered by EDRLab. This will bring significant benefits to publishers, libraries, and their patrons, enhancing the overall user experience and ensuring better content protection. This will eliminate the need for users to use Adobe Digital Editions and provide them with an accessible and modern offline reading experience with Thorium Reader, also offered by EDRLab.
Customers will be able to enable a landing page for their EBSCO eBook collection in new UI, supporting a browse experience and highlighting particular content in the library's eBook collection.
