<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The ALA Core Federated Authentication Committee invites you to a free webinar, “Authorization and Authentication Basics”, on February 1, 2024, 1pm ET/10am PT. Please join us THIS THURSDAY!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Summary</span></u><span style="font-size:11.0pt">: Providing off-campus access to electronic resources is a particularly challenging process for many smaller institutions. Through this webinar, several
librarians from smaller public libraries, school districts, and academic libraries, will describe the services they do or do not provide, and what they would like to see in improved authentication tools. Members of the Federated Authentication and Access committee
of ALA Core will present a range of current options and challenges for the future, followed by questions, answers, and discussion between the panel and audience. If you’re not sure where you are with off-campus authentication, or are not sure what your next
steps should be, join us for this free webinar to learn more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
