InC-Lib-Vendor

["Kent Percival" <>]

This subgroup is looking at

1.     Develop a prioritized list of information providers (e.g. JSTOR, Science Direct, etc) that the group would like to have support Shibboleth-enabled access.

2.     Determine which vendors already support Shibboleth. Identify the top priorities for making the business case to support Shibboleth.

3.     Include information about which vendors are already associated with InCommon.

The list of IPs the group would like was already started in the Top 10 list on the Wiki – a good start.  How do we round out and prioritize the list?

The UK Access Management Federation has been pushing vendors to become compliant.  See http://access.jiscinvolve.org/federated-access-and-publishers/  This site contains useful listings of compliant publishers, including ones that are live, ones that are planning, and some at risk (not interested?) ones.

Perhaps we should review the list of publishers that are compliant now or intend to by this summer to see how this stacks up against the ones the group wants.  The process might be as easy as getting them to join InCommon (or in my case, the Canadian Access Federation!)
