Craiova, Romania – June 4, 2020
We are excited to announce the release of a new MuseKnowledge™ Proxy version 5.2, which is available for download with an extended 90-day free trial period now.
Libraries are working harder than ever during the COVID-19 global crisis to serve their communities through their virtual digital library platforms. MuseKnowledge™ Proxy is software that helps libraries securely and seamlessly manage remote access to their digital library resources for virtual users. It does this by validating the remote library user’s identity with digital content providers, so they’re granted access to the library’s full collection of e-resources no matter where they are.
Our new version of MuseKnowledge™ Proxy features critical updates to guarantee the security and continuity of remote user under the new "SameSite=None; Secure" Cookie handling policies required for Chrome80 and other browsers. As ongoing improvements to enable privacy and security across the web, these new SameSite policies affect all web applications that use cookies and are now fully supported in MuseKnowledge™ Proxy across the Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge browsers.
In addition, MuseKnowledge™ Proxy Version 5.2 brings significant features and improvements to support easier, faster setup and administration of MuseKnowledge™ Proxy in Self-Hosted environments:

Connect with Muse Knowledge at the Electronic Resources and Libraries Conference (ER&L) in Austin, Texas during March 8-11, 2020.
For 15 years, ER&L has convened a conference and online learning opportunities to support the improvement of the way we collect, manage, maintain, and make accessible electronic resources. As technology and our approach to it changes, iterates and improves, ER&L continues its important work, bringing together the many library and industry roles in a thoughtful, collaborative and education-packed conference.
At this year’s conference, Muse Knowledge is co-presenting an Emerging Technologies & Trends session with its longtime partner, Library & Information Resources Network (LIRN). Come hear Managing Director of Muse Knowledge, Aurelian Popescu, and President & CEO of LIRN, Andrew Anderson, as they share LIRN’s experiences with Muse Knowledge Proxy as a platform for managed library access services.
LIRN selected Muse Knowledge Proxy to provide the new platform for its managed proxy service that over 300 colleges and universities worldwide use to provide access for their students, and their presentation will describe the features, functionality, and capabilities that led to this selection.
Be sure to join our session on Tuesday March 10, 2020 at 9:00am in Room 203. You can also learn more about LIRN’s initiatives with Muse Knowledge Proxy by visiting in LIRN at the Exhibition Hall at Table 803.
