From the SWAN Support Website:
SWAN Libraries—
EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and OpenAthens are now live on your Enterprise
Development profiles! EDS integrates article search into Enterprise and
OpenAthens ties access of these databases to the patron's barcode and PIN
without the need for a unique login for each content provider. Before we go
live with EDS for patrons, SWAN staff will be sending out testing plans and
video tutorials so you can verify EDS/OpenAthens are functioning properly
within your library. If you are familiar with how authentication works and
would like to test EDS/OpenAthens on your own, the opt-in period for
activating EDS for patrons will begin on November 1st. More details will be
provided about the opt-in process next week.
The first testing plan should take no more than five minutes. Download the
attached document and follow the seven steps (with pictures!) to verify your
library's IP address is being whitelisted.
Lastly, on November 21 (time TBD), EBSCO will be presenting an in-depth
training webinar covering how to search within EDS, how to customize EDS for
your library, and how to utilize OpenAthens as a statistics reporting tool.
More details about the webinar will be provided soon.
