On Tuesday, August 13, CIS and the University Library are planning a change in the way electronic resources are accessed for on-campus users.\u00a0 Starting on that date, users who link to electronic resources through the database list (http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/eresources\/<\/a>) or e-journal list (http:\/\/rl3tp7zf5x.search.serialssolutions.com\/<\/a>) on the Library’s homepage will sign in via\u00a0Shibboleth, the same sign-in method used for Workday and Canvas access.\u00a0\u00a0Shibboleth\u00a0is a safer, more secure means of user authentication and will assist the Library in meeting its licensing obligations to content providers.<\/p>\n

If a user has not logged into\u00a0Shibboleth\u00a0that day, he or she will be prompted for their University username and password.\u00a0 After successful entry, redirection to the desired resource should proceed directly.<\/p>\n

At this time, users who get to resources from sites other than the Library’s homepage will not need to log in if they are on campus.\u00a0 Off-campus access via the VPN client will not change.\u00a0 Off-campus access without the VPN client already uses a\u00a0Shibboleth\u00a0login.<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyone encountering problems connecting to a resource may contact us at\u00a0eresources@brown.edu<\/a>\u00a0or the CIS help desk at\u00a0help@brown.edu<\/a>\u00a0or by phoning\u00a0(401)-863-4357<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
