Sentient DISCOVER is an innovative learning resource management system which maximises the awareness, access and utilisation of existing technologies and learning resources.

Birkbeck - University of London, Bradford University, Buckingham Chilterns University College, Stirling University and the University of Edinburgh are just a few institutions benefiting from Sentient DISCOVER with Athens Authentication.
Sue Godsell, Subject Librarian at Birkbeck - University of London commented: “With Sentient DISCOVER and Athens single sign-on, academics and students now have a safe password protected gateway to their learning materials, both on and off campus”.
Sentient DISCOVER and Athens dramatically enhances the students learning experience by enabling greater access to their learning resources.
Athens commented: "We are pleased to add Sentient DISCOVER to our growing list of Athens-authenticated resources (currently 260 resources). We are excited by its potential to provide a seamless single authenticated environment for users."
