[Eril-l] FAQ on Browser Privacy Changes and Library Resource Access

[Harper, Cynthia]

I should note that my introduction to SeamlessAccess was through the FAQ posted here this morning, and so I don’t know a lot about the context for the SemalessAccess product. It may assume that libraries are doing SAML authentication already, but I don’t know where I should be reading to find out how Identity providers are making it possible for publishers to participate.

Thanks,
Cindy

Thanks, Linda. I work in a subject area (religion & theology) that has a lot of small, single-journal publishers.  What is required for a small publisher to provide SAML authentication to their resources? Is this question on the radar for SeamlessAccess, not just the big STM publishers?  A lot of our small publishers are able to provide IP access control, but I don’t know where they are going from here.
