Abstract:

HAN – Hidden Automatic Navigator is a management software does away with a lot of issues that become apparent when having to manage and giving access to eJournals:

HAN provides clientless off-campus access to eJournals for all authorised users! From everywhere, by any type of browser or operating system with no parameters to be set on client side
HAN provides detailed usage statistics - uniform across all providers, COUNTER-compatible, user independant
HAN provides license management – instead of buying licenses campuswide buy only those numbers you need by easily specifying the range of interested persons or departments
HAN keeps passwords hidden from users – when access to eJournals is given by passwords HAN keeps them away from the users by checking the users credentials and routing it to the desired Journal with a logon process hidden to the user.

In a nutshell:

HAN simplifies access
HAN saves
HAN enhances the security against unauthorised use
HAN provides detailed usage statistics
HAN manages the inventory and schedules subscription periods
