From oram at uillinois.edu Mon Apr 10 18:48:21 2023 From: oram at uillinois.edu (Gibson, Jessica) Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2023 18:48:21 +0000 Subject: [OpenAthens_Contacts] OpenAthens in CARLI Selection System cycle FY24 Message-ID: <09C1830C-A6E5-44CA-B68A-330516BD93E4@uillinois.edu> Dear OpenAthens Contacts, With the CARLI Selection System cycle now open for FY24, this is a reminder that the CARLI-funded OpenAthens program for member libraries ends on June 30, 2023. If your library is planning to subscribe to OpenAthens directly to continue using OpenAthens for FY24 (July 1, 2023 ? June 30, 2024), you must select it in the CARLI Selection System prior to the closing of this spring cycle on May 12, 2023. For details on how to do that, see the information below. If your library is not planning to continue your subscription to OpenAthens, there is nothing you need to do in the CARLI Selection System; however, please notify CARLI at support at carli.illinois.edu that your library will not be continuing with OpenAthens, and review the ?Planning for the Future of OpenAthens? information session webinar and slides for information on changes that you may need to make to authentication and/or proxying services used at your library. You should begin planning for changes to these services as soon as possible, and CARLI staff can help you to develop a transition plan for your library, if desired. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe to OpenAthens for FY24 in the CARLI Selection System: Every CARLI library has as least one staff member who is authorized to sign in to the CARLI Selection System. If you do not know who that person is at your library, contact CARLI Support at support at carli.illinois.edu for more information. After logging in to the CARLI Selection System, choose the Subscription Cycle called SaaS (Software as a Service) 2024 Within that section, you will find three OpenAthens-related options: MyAthens Plus OpenAthens OpenAthens Set Up Fee What are the differences between these options? MyAthens Plus * MyAthens is an optional library-controlled information portal that is part of OpenAthens. * MyAthens has two tiers: * MyAthens Basic, which is freely available to all OpenAthens customers at no extra charge and includes basic account management functionality and limited customization options. * MyAthens Plus, which is a paid-for service that has additional features including more customization options, a full list of resources available to the user, and content discovery widget integration. * See the OpenAthens MyAthens page for more information about MyAthens Plus and a comparison of the free vs. paid versions. * CARLI member libraries that are already using OpenAthens and wish to add a MyAthens Plus subscription must select both the OpenAthens and MyAthens Plus options. OpenAthens * With the three-year CARLI-funded program for OpenAthens ending on June 30, 2023, CARLI member libraries that wish to continue to subscribe to OpenAthens directly beginning July 1, 2023 must select OpenAthens. * If a CARLI member library is a first-time subscriber, they must select both the OpenAthens Set Up Fee and OpenAthens options. OpenAthens Set Up Fee * This fee must be selected for any CARLI member library that is a first-time subscriber to OpenAthens after July 1, 2023; that is, the library did not previously ?opt IN? to OpenAthens during the CARLI-funded project period before June 30, 2023, and the library is not a current subscriber to OpenAthens directly. * If a CARLI member library is a first-time subscriber, they must select both the OpenAthens Set Up Fee and OpenAthens options. As with all choices made in the CARLI Selection System, these commitments are binding at the close of this selection cycle. If you have any questions, please contact CARLI Support at support at carli.illinois.edu.
