 This virtual event -- part of NISO’s regular monthly series -- will be

tips and techniques for communicating with your IT group to minimize
problems.

A single registration allows you to gather an unlimited number of staff in
a conference or classroom setting to listen in to leaders in the
profession. *Remember that NISO Library Standards Alliance members will
automatically receive sign-in credentials for this event. There is no need
to register separately.* Check your library’s membership status here.

Even if staff is unable to attend the live broadcast due to scheduling
conflicts or travel, links to the archived recording are sent within 24-48
hours of the event to maximize the value of your training dollars.

*Identity Management and Authentication Strategies, Part One:*

Organizations and institutions holding licensed content or other sensitive
forms of data -- regardless of whether the data may be hosted in a library
or in a proprietary service or platform setting -- must do so with the
intent of minimizing any risk of leakage or unauthorized incursion by third
parties. One solution consistently put forward in recent years is the use
of federated identity management systems. An application verifies the
user’s right to interact with a particular system by engaging with another
system storing individual credentials and the various access rights
associated with those credentials.

However, depending upon the institution’s role and resources, hesitation
may arise about the trustworthiness of such federated identity systems.
This *roundtable *will feature discussion by a variety of stakeholders
(chief technology officers, information professionals, producers of content
and service providers) to talk about available system options, their
reliability and the benefits gained in their use.

Confirmed participants in this initial roundtable discussion include: *Mark
Bilby*, Scholarly Communications Librarian, California State University -
Fullerton; *Tim Lloyd*, CEO, Liblynx; *Amy Pawlowski*, Deputy Director and
eResource Licensing Coordinator, OHIO Link; *Mark A. Beadles*, Chief
Information Security Officer, OARnet; *Laura Paglione*, Partner, Spherical
Cow Group; *Todd Digby*, Chair, Library Technology, University of Florida.

*Talking to Your Organization’s IT Group When You’re Not an IT Person, Part
Two:*

Libraries may not always be blessed with their own dedicated information
technology unit. Those lucky enough to have such internal access are in a
better position to discuss complex issues, such as those surrounding
identity management and authentication. But what if you or your colleagues
are dependent upon an external IT group, one that has different
professional priorities? What might be the best tips and tricks for
communicating library needs and concerns to those IT groups? They may be
using the same vocabulary but associating a different definition with the
terminology. This event will be a *roundtable discussion* between
professionals with the intent of easing those exchanges in order to reach
shared goals.

Confirmed participants in this second roundtable discussion include: *Tim
Lloyd*, CEO, Liblynx; *Tracey Tolliver*, Director, Library IT, University
of Illinois Urbana-Champaign; *Todd Digby*, Chair Library Technology,
University of Florida; Other Names TBA
