June 30, 2025), you must select it in the CARLI Selection System prior to the closing of this SaaS cycle on March 29, 2024. For details on how to continue to subscribe to OpenAthens, see https://www.carli.illinois.edu/products-services/open-athens/selections . 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. Also, please note that your library will likely need to make changes 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. Below are some frequently asked question and answers: Q: My library is currently using OpenAthens for authentication. What happens if we decide not to continue in FY25? A: Your Library needs to configure a different authentication solution. * Many campuses support single sign-on like SAML directly. * I-Share libraries will need to set up new integration profile in Alma for your new solution. * Contact CARLI with any questions. Q: My library is currently using OpenAthens for proxying. What happens if we decide not to continue in FY25? A: Your Library needs to configure a different proxying solution. * I-Share libraries will need to set up new integration profile in Alma for your new resolver proxy solution. * Your library should update any proxy or link resolver settings with e-resource vendors such as EBSCOhost, ProQuest, JSTOR, etc. * Contact CARLI with any questions. Q: How do I know if my library is using OpenAthens, and if so, how much are we using it? A: For I-Share Libraries: * In Alma, is there an Integration Profiles (Alma Configuration > General > External Systems > Integration Profiles) configured with an Integration Type of ?SAML? that uses a URL through OpenAthens in the ?Action? tab? * If yes, staff user authentication to Alma and end user authentication in Primo VE is going through Open Athens. You should see usage in OpenAthens Reporting. * In Alma, is there an Integration Profiles Alma Configuration > General > External Systems > Integration Profiles) configured with an Integration Type of ?Resolver Proxy? that uses a URL through OpenAthens in the ?Action? tab? * If yes, your library is likely proxying electronic resources through OpenAthens. Check additional details on usage in OpenAthens Reporting. * In OpenAthens Administration > Reporting, usage by Resource can viewed. * For I-Share Libraries, there are separate Resources for Alma (staff logins) and Primo VE (user logins to Primo VE). * If your library completed Phase 2 of the OpenAthens implementation, you will see data on other Resources such as EBSCO Information Services, Elsevier, Springer, etc. depending on the resources your library subscribes to and what resources you had EBSCO staff configure for you. A: For Non-I-Share Libraries: In OpenAthens Administration > Reporting, Usage from by Resource can viewed. * If your library completed Phase 2 of the OpenAthens implementation, you will see data on other Resources such as EBSCO Information Services, Elsevier, Springer, etc. depending on the resources your library subscribes to and what resources you had EBSCO staff configure for you. Q: To use OpenAthens Reporting, you need to have an Administrator account. How do I know if I have an account? If I don?t have an account, how do I get one? A: Every library should have at least one OpenAthens Administrator. If you do not know your library's OpenAthens Administrator, CARLI staff can look that person up for you; contact CARLI at support at carli.illinois.edu. If library staff formerly working with OpenAthens cannot recall their password, file a support case with EBSCO via https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://connect.ebsco.com/s/?language=en_US__;!!DZ3fjg!5FyAldieI3BAuPt70paK7v1Ejw_jxVnZY7TFY-unQ5CAs_ywrP1A7HDNFbbuNTwxdtGVeuC1U-x3Dt1NKIeQFZ02zP327zUo$ ; EBSCO will reset password manually and share it securely. If your library?s OpenAthens Admin is no longer available, you can request a new account from EBSCO Support. If you need to update the OpenAthens Contact for your library or be removed from this email list, please contact CARLI Support at support at carli.illinois.edu.
