AUTHENTICATION

USF is migrating from IP authentication to OpenAthens as the preferred method of authentication. Given the size of the University we cannot use user names and passwords as forms of authentication.

CONSORTIA

University of South Florida is supported by the Florida Library Virtual Campus (FLVC). FLVC serves the twelve publicly funded universities and 28 colleges of Florida, each of which is a separate budget entity. USF is also a member of Lyrasis and ASERL and obtain resources through these consortia.

SCOPE OF ACCESS

With few exceptions, licensed resources are available to all USF Faculty, staff, and students at all campus locations, as well as off-campus locations.

USAGE STATISTICS

The USF Libraries in concert with FLVC support theGuidelines for Statistical Measures of Usage of Web-based Information Resources, December 2001. With an active program dedicated to use statistics, the University of South Florida requests that vendors collect, format, and issue usage statistics according to these guidelines.

TRIALS

OpenAthens authentication is the preferred method for conducting trial access to products, however other methods are available. Access to trials is posted toA-Z Databases. Please contact Laura Pascual with trial access information.
