A reminder that the InC-Library Vendor subgroup will meet Friday, Sept. 
11. Representatives from JSTOR will join the call. The agenda, 
distributed by Dave Kennedy last week, is included below. Hope you can 
join us.

Please note -- if you are able to make long-distance calls at no 
additional cost to you or your university, please use the (734) number 
below, rather than the toll-free number. That will save Internet2 a few 
bucks.

Introductions
  - including brief overview of InCommon Library Services Collaboration

JSTOR - overview of Shibboleth implementation
  - usage of Shibboleth SP software (SessionInitiators?)
  - implementation of WAYFless URLs and direct links to resources
  - what has or hasn't worked

Topics for discussion:

Best Practices
  - are these feasible for resource providers
  - do these make sense
  - thoughts on how to go about making this best practice amongst
resource providers

What role should InCommon or the InCommon Library Services Collaboration
play?
  - policy setters
  - documenters
  - testers
  - implementation documentation/assistance

Is there a desire/need for standardization across federation members'
identity provider implementations that would simplify the process for
resource providers' configurations?

What are we missing, especially things that you have learned from
dealing with other federations besides InCommon?
