Discoverability / Delivery Services
ACLS Humanities Ebook has entered into a number of agreements to make the collection more discoverable and to enable auto-loading of MARC records. Our agreements should get HEB indexed in the following services:

- Your institution must have a SAML-based Identity Provider (IdP) whose metadata we can consume via a stable URL and which defines a security domain using shibMD:scope. This is most commonly achieved through membership to an identity federation that participates in eduGAIN. The following federations have been confirmed to support access to Fulcrum via eduGAIN as of November 2019:
- Canadian Access Federation (CAF)
- HEAnet / Edugate
- InCommon
- UK Federation
- Your Identity Provider must be configured to release attribute 'eduPersonScopedAffiliation' to entityId 'https://fulcrum.org/sp'.
