Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between local hosting and cloud hosting?
Local hosting is when you have the Accessit database sitting on your school server. The server is maintained by your IT staff.
Cloud hosting is an externally managed service. We are responsible for the provision and maintenance of the server, including data storage and technical services – managing back-ups, security patches and the application of updates. Cloud hosting frees up your IT infrastructure and staff, and enables easier anytime, anywhere access to application and data.
Will I have to add my borrowers manually with Accessit?
Accessit Library synchronises with most student management systems. This means that all borrower information will be updated from the student management system daily into Accessit. You choose which fields you wish to sync, including parent emails, so you can send automated overdues home if necessary.
Does Accessit integrate with AD/LDAP?
Yes. This allows users to authenticate against Active Directory or LDAP via their normal network login.
Does Accessit support SSO?
Yes, Accessit supports Google (“G-Suite”), ADFS, Azure AD, and supports SAML2/Shibboleth, thus will work with various other SAML2-compliant identity solutions.
What happens when you release a new version? Do we have to buy Accessit all over again?
No, with Accessit Library all updates and new versions are covered by your annual licence fee. You will always have access to the newest and most up-to-date version of Accessit.
Can my students search the catalogue without logging in?
Yes, of course. We also support AD/LDAP integration, so if your students log into the school network with a username and password, they can use the same login for Accessit, and not have to learn a new one. Accessit also supports SSO (Single Sign-On).
What sort of internet speed do I need for the hosted solution?
Minimum recommended 10Mb down, 5 Mb up. However, it’s also important to check that your network is not throttling back the connection (which would result in reduced connectivity). Another consideration is whether you have appropriate QOS (Quality of Service) rules in place to ensure library staff get adequate bandwidth at peak times (for example, if your organisation permits unlimited internet access at lunchtime, causing high utilisation, it is important that librarians get higher priority).
