To maximise the functionality of the Lean Library Extension, we will need some information from your library to integrate and set up the dashboard. Here is the information we will need and how we will use them:
Access feature
We integrate with your Authentication System to provide access to your extension's users through your library:
General Network Setting
IP address is required for the extension to identify when the patron is on-campus or off-campus
Authentication Setting
This integration will enable the extension to redirect the patrons to the library's authentication page and gain access to the materials that the library subscribed to.
| Authentication system | How we integrate? |
| Proxy | We integrate your authentication system with your proxy server domain along with the licensed eRecourses domains. To manage your list of eRecourses domains, you can also set up automate the import of your eRecourses domains. More info can be found here. |
| OpenAthens | We integrate your authentication system by adding your OpenAthen Entity ID and the OpenAthens Scope. |
| Shibboleth | We integrate your Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP) either via Lean Library Shibboleth redirector or your own custom redirector. |
Alternatives feature
We integrate with the link resolver providers below, to provide access to the article/eBooks via an alternative licensed location within your holdings:
| Link resolver system | Required information |
| EBSCO LinkIQ | Profile String; Profile Password |
| Alma | Delivery Domain; Institution code; Campus code (optional) |
