OpenAthens unveils new embeddable version of organisation discovery service Wayfinder

Single sign-on provider OpenAthens has announced the launch of its new embeddable version of Wayfinder organisational discovery service.

Committed to empowering library users spanning a wide range of industries, whether they are a PhD student, a hospital clinician or a research scientist, OpenAthens has created Wayfinder to simplify and support access to online resources.

It 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 librarys website as well as in hosted form.

David Orrell, software architect at OpenAthens demonstrated the discovery service at the recent REFEDS 40th meeting in June to representatives from other identity federations around the world.

Wayfinder was developed in response to a growing need for easier access to valuable content with many publishers losing revenue on subscriptions as frustrated users move away from legitimate sites to free pirate sites.

The organisation discovery service encompasses many of the recommendations from the Resource Access for the 21st Century (RA21) initiative, a two-year project looking at how to create a seamless user experience for access to online resources.

NISO and STM-led RA21 has worked hard towards resolving some of the fundamental issues associated with accessing online content via federated single sign-on.

The OpenAthens team collaborated with the initiative to inform the pilot work on improving the user journey and developed organisation discovery service Wayfinder alongside the project using agile methods and user-centred design.

With Wayfinder, a users 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.

OpenAthens e-resource manager Adam Snook said:

Wayfinder makes it quick and easy for users to access all their subscribed content online. Until now, the battle to protect valuable content from misuse has often resulted in lengthy complicated processes for accessing content which drives users away from legitimate sites and means they resort to using stolen content on pirate sites just to save time.

We must design these digital content systems with the users needs at their core if publishers and libraries are to remain relevant and keep their resources available to as wide an audience as possible. Wayfinder is a great example of where user-centred design produces something that works for everyone, facilitating access while offering security and protection.

On October 15th, 2019, Shout! Factory is bringing his feature films to all major digital platforms, including Apple TV, Google Play, and Amazon Video.

Winner of the recent 2019 Webby Awards Best Animated Series for Trump Bites, Plympton has also been honored over the years with the Cannes Film Festivals Jury Prize and was nominated twice for an Academy Award. He began his career as an illustrator and nationally syndicated cartoonist before making his first animated short, Boomtown, in 1983. Plymptons work has spanned from commercials and music videos to full-length animated features, as well as the animated shorts which he is best known for.

Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.Matt. 24:36.

Jesus said those words while he was on earth. But Christ has been empowered in heaven to wage war against Satans world. (Rev. 19:11-16) Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that Jesus now knows when Armageddon will occur. We, however, do not know. It is imperative that we stay watchful until the tribulation occurs. Yet, the timing of that event has never been uncertain to Jehovah. He has determined exactly when the end will come. He is counting down the time to the start of the great tribulation, and its start will not be late! (Hab. 2:1-3) How can we be sure of this? Jehovahs prophecies have always been fulfilled right on time! We can be certain that Jehovahs promise of deliverance through the great tribulation will not fail us either. However, if we want to survive the destruction of this system, we must keep on the watch. w16.07 2:4-6

Peter said to him: Even if all the others are stumbled, I will not be.Mark 14:29.

At a critical moment, the apostles abandoned Jesus. Peter had earlier stated that even if the others did that, he would not. (Mark 14:27-31,50) Nevertheless, when Jesus was being taken into custody, all the apostlesincluding Peterabandoned him. Peter repeatedly denied even knowing Jesus. (Mark 14:53, 54, 66-72) However, Peter showed remorse, and Jehovah continued to use him. Had you been a disciple then, would Peters actions have affected your loyalty to Jehovah? Today, will you recognize that Jehovah may allow time for repentance on the part of wrongdoers and that he will ultimately correct the wrongs and act in a just way? On the other hand, sometimes those who have been guilty of serious sins reject Jehovahs mercy and are unrepentant. In such situations, will you have confidence that Jehovah will in time judge such wrongdoers, perhaps removing them from the congregation? w16.06 4:8, 9

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father ... comfort your hearts and strengthen you.2Thess. 2:16, 17, ftn.

A great blessing that comes to us through Jehovahs undeserved kindness is comfort for a distressed heart. (Ps. 51:17) To Christians in Thessalonica, who were experiencing persecution, Paul wrote the words found in todays text. How comforting it is to be aware of the loving care that we receive from Jehovah because of his generous kindness! As sinners, on our own we would have no hope. (Ps. 49:7,8) But Jehovah provides us with a wonderful hope. Jesus promised his followers: This is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life. (John 6:40) Yes, the hope of eternal life is a gift, a wonderful expression of Gods undeserved kindness. Paul, who certainly appreciated that fact, said: The undeserved kindness of God has been manifested, bringing salvation to all sorts of people.Titus 2:11. w16.07 3:14, 15

Excerpt from:
Kiosk Comes; Library Considers Content - Journal and Topics ... - Journal & Topics Newspapers Online

What if you could search library collections across Wyoming from the comfort of your home? With an online library account you can do just that and at your convenience. You may renew material (except DVDs) that you borrowed from the Park County Public Libraries. You may place holds at no cost on material from the Powell, Cody and Meeteetse libraries.

Still cant find what you are looking for? For a small fee to cover postage, an interlibrary loan allows you to borrow material from other Wyoming libraries. Katherine Thompson recently demonstrated how she places an online request. That movie is posted at parkcountylibrary.org/2017/08/16/your-online-library-account.

Grace Solie recorded her My List methodology and it is also posted at the preceding link. My List will track books for research or to borrow in the future. Solie usually emails her lists to herself for future reference.

The list arrives with live links to the catalog record, which makes review fast and easy. Lists may be named or added to a temporary folder. Students in the Homeschool Group will find this tool particularly valuable.

To set up an online library account, go to the renew items tab on the far right side of parkcountylibrary.org home page. Enter your library card number with no spaces. Accept the default PIN of WYLD.

That takes you directly to the Wyoming Library Database or WYLD, the state-wide catalog. From there it is possible to narrow your search to individual Park County libraries or to see what is available statewide.

The PIN can be changed. It is also possible to retrieve your PIN. If you have forgotten it, call us at (307) 527-1880.

The Cody library will no longer be open on Sunday afternoons.

Lunch service has been discontinued in the Biblio Bistro. Baked goods and beverages will be served Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. until further notice.

Edie Hanafin Phillips retired Aug. 31 after 25 years service. Leslie Colin Tribble will be the new tech services supervisor.

Until we process all the books recently received, we cannot accept more donations.

September has been designated Library Card Sign-up month by the American Library Association. Do you have yours?

Library programs are free and open to the public.

In The Ghosts in the Green Grass, 2 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 9, Bud Alley compares the fate of the 7th Cavalry commanded by General George Armstrong Custer in 1876 and his own experiences in the Vietnam War with the 2nd Battalion of the 7th Cavalry. A book signing and sale will follow his author talk.
