Please provide an option to configure the authentication method applied to CDI Link in record links at the collection level. As it stands, we are able to set a preference at the institution level that is applied to all CDI collections. Our selection to apply the default proxy (in our case, the OpenAthens redirector) is not appropriate for some collections and cannot be overridden. This is especially important as more providers move to federated authentication.
Ex Libris has configured exceptions for ProQuest legacy collections upon request, but not for other providers.
Mintel is a good example. When the OpenAthens redirector is applied to Mintel CDI Link in record links, our users are authenticated, then they are taken correctly to a page where they must acknowledge terms of use. After acknowledging the terms, users land on an error page. Were the user provided the direct Link in record link, they could select our institution, acknowledge the terms, then be directed to the content.
As it stands, we have turned off CDI for Mintel collections.
