Important changes to LION from 2nd June 2014 (04 . 06 . 2014)

On 2nd June 2014, ProQuest will deploy Phase 2 of the new LION. This will result in a number of changes to New LION that will benefit administrators behind-the-scenes as well as streamline the research process for end-users. For full details of these changes and how they will affect you and your users visit http://go.proquest.com/literature-online-new-interface.
Summary of key changes:

• Authentication: All authentication methods are now synchronised with the ProQuest platform.
• Customisation: All customisation options (such as library branding) can now be administered via the ProQuest Administrator Module (PAM).
• Usage Logging: All usage logging is now logged in the same place as the ProQuest platform, which will allow combined reporting in PAM.
• Interoperability: Your LION subscription will be listed on the ProQuest platform, and users can link from there to LION without having to re-enter their authentication details.

 

An initiative of the IUA Librarians

IReL is a great initiative; the ability to access papers immediately is a great enabler and makes research much more efficient.
