Product Description

Overview

ITS Onelog is the ultimate tool to track and control the web-based resources provided by your libraries. Onelog can monitor the usage of subscription databases and e-journals hosted online, free web links and internally hosted web-based services and content. Onelog seamlessly logs library members and staff onto web-based resources that require password authentication and monitors exactly who has been using resources even if they solely allow IP-based authentication.

Onelog provides the library members and staff with the ability to logon once, using their borrower credentials, and then be automatically connected to any password or IP protected resource. Onelog allows administrators to give library members access to Internet resources without revealing confidential logon information. Onelog has the unique ability to handle authentication in the manner most suited to the user's location. For example when the user is at a branch library Onelog might utilise IP-based access, while if your libraries provide access to resources off-site the library members will be seamlessly logged on using an institutional username and password. Onelog knows exactly who is using your web-resources, from where and when and provides access to powerful reports that ensure your libraries always make the correct licensing decisions.

How can Onelog benefit my library?

Onelog can automatically log library members and staff on to any web-based resources that requires a username and password radically simplifying access to password-protected resources.

Onelog automatically submits organisational and pooled combinations of username password credentials to web-resources so that library members and staff never need to know these details ensuring that sensitive username password combinations do not leave your organisation.
Onelog can track and report on the usage of any web-based resource from subscription content to e-journals, free web links and web-based systems resident on your intranet ensuring that you know exactly what is being used, from where and by whom.
Onelog can determine who has been using a web-based resource even if it is IP-protected, ensuring full usage patterns are known.
Onelog’s in-depth reports illustrate usage trends highlighting resources that are under or over-utilised allowing you to make the correct licensing decisions and help in negotiations with publishers.
Onelog fits straight in with how your library members and staff access resources. Web-based resources tracked and controlled by Onelog can be accessed just as they always have been; from your home page, intranet, federated search application, from Google search results, favourites and web links forwarded by colleagues and friends. This ensures quick acceptance by end-users and high levels of satisfaction.
Onelog can integrate with the leading PC Booking systems such as ITS MyPC providing single-sign-on to web-based resources.
Onelog is easy to look after, ITS maintain the entire back-end configuration for the resources your libraries uses. All you need to do is quickly configure your resources via an intuitive browser-based interface and ITS is always there to help you if you get stuck along the way.
