WilsonWeb CX Edition Meets Security Standards
H.W. Wilson has affirmed that access to the WilsonWeb CX Edition database meets the security standards for the Shibboleth System, in an announcement released July 15. The new WilsonWeb CX Edition, as well as all WilsonWeb databases, are compatible with both Shibboleth and other popular authentication systems.
The Shibboleth System is a popular software for governing access to protected online resources via web sign-on either across or within organization boundaries. The software allows sites to make informed authorization decisions for individual access to protected online resources in a privacy-preserving manner.
WilsonWeb offers libraries more than 60 periodical research databases — magazine and journal indexes, abstract resources and databases of full-text articles and page images — in art, literature and the humanities, applied science, biology and agriculture, the social sciences, applied science, biology and agriculture, the social sciences, general science, math, law, business and more. The new WilsonWeb CX Edition interface offers more versatile and more incisive searching, more customization and new tools for saving and formatting data.
