Authentication

Users are authenticated based on IP range. Where a book has been adopted for a course and an interactive edition is in use, instructors and students are issued passwords that extend for the duration of the class. Such books are ePub format and are hosted on this platform

Discovery and Support

We are working with the most popular web-scale discovery services — Ex Libris Primo, EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), Proquest Summon and OCLC Worldcat Discovery — by supplying them with complete metadata and full text of our journals. We are also now doing this for our eBooks. With this information the services are able to fully index Equinox content making it more discoverable. Libraries using any one of these online services should find it easy to integrate Equinox electronic publications into their collections. We are also seeking to be included in GOBI services.

Some features to note:
All new titles available on publication
