In November 2023 the VDOT Research Library added 'Single Sign On' (SSO) access to Knovel. Translation: Thanks to the magic of SSO...if you are a VDOT employee logged on the VDOT network and you click a link to Knovel you will now go straight in without being prompted to create or enter a second username and password. This article in the Library's Newsletter explains SSO for Knovel in more detail.
