About us
We believe in removing barriers to knowledge. We do this by helping libraries and publishers save time and effort with a single sign-on solution. What does that mean? Well, it means people can quickly and easily find the information they’re looking for. In turn this leads to more time, smarter ways of working and unlocks the potential to achieve great things! Through us, providers can protect their information and allow secure access for their users, and libraries can be sure that their researchers can access the information they need seamlessly and securely. Over 3,000 organizations use our software, equating to a worldwide network of millions of end-users. We strive to improve the end-user experience of students, patrons and employees. Since 1995, we have been working to improve the process of accessing information for everyone involved. Follow us for news and updates on the work we do!
