Engineering Access Under the Hood </b><i>(NISO Two-Part Webinar)<span></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first half of this two-part webinar program (scheduled
for November 1) will provide an overview of the current landscape of options
available to academic institutions for ensuring and streamlining access to
materials by legitimate users. What’s working, which technological approaches
may be outdated, and what needs to be done (research, technology upgrades,
etc.) to resolve related problems?<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second half of this webinar (scheduled for November 15)
will provide an overview of the issues associated with delivering quality
metadata by and to various stakeholders. Based on comments heard at conferences
and in meetings, it’s an old issue. But what are the existing barriers to
delivering reliable metadata? What improvements might be made in the process?
What stands in the way of successful implementation?<span></span></p>

Access Under the Hood:
Challenges of Identity and Authentication Management</a> <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Speaker Abstracts:</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><br></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Speaker: Judy Luther</b>, <i>President, Informed Strategies</i><span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><br></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">IP access is still considered the “norm” today for providing
the academic community access to the content that libraries acquire. However,
user requirements have changed in a highly mobile world. Libraries need more
intelligent data for budget and service applications. And privacy is increasingly
of concern in our digital environment. In the context of identity and
authentication management, what’s the impact of these changes?<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Speaker:</b> <b>Phil Leahy</b>, <i>Services
Relationship Manager, Eduserv</i><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Abstract: </b>Access to online information resources
is vital for both students and faculty. Universities, colleges, and other
institutions have made significant investments in e-resources, but frustrations
around access can impede their usage among those who benefit from them the
most. Subscription arrangements typically require that the institution or
library will want to use their membership database to provide access to these
resources, but IP recognition simply doesn’t work in these situations, and
peer-to-peer SAML connections are too complex. This webinar will discuss the
problems with both approaches, how the UK and US academic sectors are dealing
with these challenges in different ways and what the future landscape of
authentication might look like.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Abstract: </b>Clarivate Analytics is the global
leader in providing research, discovery, and analytics applications to the
research ecosystem, including the world’s top universities, corporations,
governments, and individuals. We support a variety of identity and authentication
models—from anonymous access to named-user based approaches—depending on the
market, product, and customer needs. In our experience, organizations find
Single sign-on (SSO) the most desired authentication model, which comes with
technical challenges on both the customer and provider side.<br>
<br>
During the webinar, we will provide an overview of our experience in working
with academic, and corporate customers, the common issues in SSO
implementations, as well as some suggestions for areas of improvement between
service providers and clients. We will also share lessons learned on balancing
security and privacy concerns with ease of use and personalized user
experience.<span></span></p>
