In July 2020, SeamlessAccess.org will be launching a new,
privacy-preserving service to simplify Single Sign-On access to a wide
range of scholarly collaboration tools, information resources, and shared
research infrastructure. The next stage of the RA21 project is currently in
Beta testing, and this session will give a community update on the state of
the project.



SeamlessAccess.org is a community-driven effort backed by stakeholders from
across the industry including NISO, ORCiD, the International Association of
STM Publishers, and organizations involved in managing global Research &
Education networks (Internet2, GÉANT).



Over the next 7 months leading up to the launch, SeamlessAccess is beta
testing this new service with a variety of publishers and institutions to
understand integration scenarios, test specific use cases (such as walk-in
access), and finalize the implementation standards.



In addition, SeamlessAccess is setting up several cross-industry working
groups to develop best practices and policies around the use of Single
Sign-On, including template contractual terms covering data protection and
configuration profiles to simply library implementation.



This session will share the lessons learned from the beta testing, the best
practices and policies developed by these working groups, and describe what
libraries and librarians need to know in order to deliver a simpler,
privacy-preserving access experience for users.





*Springer Nature Lunch & Learn: All About Seamless Access*

*Sunday, January 26, 2020, 12:15 PM*

Speakers: Jason Griffey, NISO; Robert Boissy, Springer Nature



For years the library community has struggled with problems of providing
convenient and seamless access to licensed online resources to affiliated
remote users. Now a new technology has emerged to replace the very
antiquated IP recognition technology that has a determined implementation
group consisting of collaboration between five organizations–GÉANT,
Internet2, the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), ORCID,
and the International Association of STM Publishers (STM). This technology
is well described at seamlessaccess.org. As a new technology, this approach
has been questioned on grounds of individual privacy and tracking
individual information use. Come join us for lunch, learn more about
seamless access, ask questions, and consider for yourself if this
technology makes sense for your campus: providing proper privacy controls
while promoting long term remote access for affiliated users. Your input
concerning the remote access problem and your alternative solutions will be
solicited.



This a free event open to all attendees of the ALA Midwinter 2020
Conference. Lunch will be provided.





*Improving the Content Platform Migration Process: Creating a New NISO
Recommended Practice, ALCTS PLVR (Publisher/Vendor Library Relations)
Committee Meeting *

*Monday, January 27, 2020, 8:30 - 10:00 AM*

Location: Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room 126-A

Speakers: Jennifer Bazeley, Yale University; Tom Beyer, The Sheridan Group;
Kimberly Steinle, Duke University Press



As online content is primarily made available via the Web, content
platforms are now a typical way to provide libraries and their patrons
access to scholarly content. Content platforms may be developed by
publishers themselves, or they may be licensed from third parties who
specialize in this type of software. Publishers continuously work to
upgrade the platforms based on feedback from customers and end-users, and
in response to an ever-changing internet and technology landscape. As a
result, publishers will periodically move their content from one platform
to another. A migration that is well planned, communicated and coordinated
with customers, and well executed will deliver the content on the new
platform with no broken links, no loss of functionality, no interruption in
access, and no loss of customer information. However, migrations can be
complex with many things to track, from customer holdings, to
particularities of EZproxy and other authentication methodologies, to user
accounts, and security settings. A problem free migration is the exception
rather than the norm.



The goal for this NISO Working Group
<https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/content-platform-migrations> is
to create recommended practices around platform migrations which would
provide a standard process and recommendations to all parties dealing with
online content platforms, which would improve communication both before,
during and after migration. Streamlining the process will benefit everyone
in a smoother overall transition.
