Remotlog vs Silo

RemotLog® is the industry-leading middleware solution for remote user authentication. This access and authentication software allows libraries to deliver remote secure online access to e-content. It facilitates a single sign-on using existing library-issued credentials, such as a library card number and PIN, or username and password. With simple modifications, RemotLog can be integrated into a variety of library delivery systems, providing library users with seamless access to e-content. In addition, the software maintains a standard web server log to evaluate database usage to help identify which content users need.

It helps students stay focused by locking them into a single website, perfect for classrooms and learning environments with shared devices. Features: • Set a Website: Choose one website for students to access while Assistive Access is enabled. Whether it's your learning management system, a collaborative whiteboard, or another educational tool, Silo keeps learners on task. • Save Bookmarks: Add frequently used links for easy setup and quick access across sessions. • Locked-Down Mode with Assistive Access: When used with Assistive Access, Silo restricts navigation to the selected site. Students can browse within the site, go back, move forward, but cannot enter their own links.
