>  
> As you
> may know, JSTOR is preparing to offer institutional access via
> Shibboleth to members of the UK Federation. We have undergone
> successful testing with a few UK federation member institutions, and
> are hoping to make the service live next week.
>  
> In
> advance of making the service available, we would like to let you know
> of one particular requirement. Once we have configured your
> institutional record for Shibboleth access to JSTOR, your Attribute
> Authority will need to authorize users into JSTOR by asserting the
> eduperson entitlement attribute with a value of
> urn:mace:dir:entitlement:common-lib-terms. This entitlement value
> should be set for those users who qualify under the terms of the JSTOR
> license agreement. Generally, this includes students and staff (active
> and retired), but it can also include "library walk-ins", if
> those users have some way of authenticating using
> Shibboleth.
>  
> The
> official description of the entitlement value can be found
> here:

>  
> Please
> do not hesitate to contact JSTOR Tech Support ()
> if you have any questions. We look forward to announcing the
> availability of the live Shibboleth service very
> soon.
