Hi, all.</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
We use ezproxy generally (self-hosted) but as our campus implemented first Shibboleth and is now moving this summer to Azure, and associated with the big Canadian SAML federation Canarie, we've been finding more and more major library content providers supporting
that kind of off-campus "login via your institution", some of which didn't even contact us to configure it, but just got up and running for us from the Canarie service.</div>

</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
In light of that trend, I'm wondering what advantages there still are to using Open Athens (which I've been wanting to get for years but didn't have the budget or systems support for).</div>

If any of you have Open Athens and your campus also provides SSO through that kind of SAML service, can you please tell me what OA is doing for you that makes it still worth the cost?</div>
