For librarians and institutions

Institutional access to the complete scientific reference

Journals, books, reference works, multimedia and question banks in one licensed platform — with the authentication, reporting and self-service administration your library expects.

Authentication

How your users get access

IP-range recognition

Institutional single sign-on

Authenticate through your identity provider via OIDC, so users keep their existing campus credentials and you keep control of withdrawal.

Entitlement-driven access

Coverage is resolved per work against your licence — open access first, then your institutional entitlements, then a clear refusal.

Reporting

Usage you can defend

COUNTER 5 reports are available for your institution on demand and export as tab-separated values ready for spreadsheet analysis. A SUSHI harvesting endpoint is available for automated collection into your ERM or assessment tools.

Access-denied activity is recorded separately, so a coverage gap shows up as data rather than an anecdote.

SUSHI endpoint

POST /sushi/5/reports

Requestor credentials and your customer ID are issued by our support team — ask when you set up harvesting.

Title Report

Usage at title level with total and unique item requests.

Item Report

Item-level requests broken down by access type.

Database Report

Searches and result clicks for the platform.

Platform Report

Totals across all metrics and content types.
