InCommon Library Services

[Dean Woodbeck <>]

Below you will find brief descriptions of the sub-groups that the InC-Library 
working group created during the April 3 meeting. Please send me a note 
letting me know your choice of sub-group ().

------

Use Case Subgroup

Develop a comprehensive list of use cases related to accessing information 
vendors from a variety of starting points, group them as appropriate and 
prioritize them.

Vendor Subgroup

Develop a prioritized list of information providers (e.g. JSTOR, Science 
Direct, etc) that the group would like to have support Shibboleth-enabled 
access. Determine which vendors already support Shibboleth. Identify the top 
priorities for making the business case to support Shib. Include information 
about which vendors are already associated with InCommon.

Walk-in Patron Subgroup

Develop the use cases for walk-in patrons that may or may not have university 
credentials. Examples include the case in which a vendor contract allows use 
by a walk-up patron, and the case in which use is restricted to those 
affiliated with the university. Identify the more popular approaches that 
campuses use for allowing access (e.g. GUEST login IDs, etc.).

I have also set up wiki space for each sub-group. You will see the links at 
the Phase 2 wiki page:

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/inclibrary/InC-Library+-+Phase+2+-+Piloting+Technology+Approaches

As working group members volunteer for the subgroups, I'll populate the wiki 
with names. 

I believe all of the members of the InC-Library email list are set up for 
edit access to the wiki. If you have access problems, there is a detailed 
instruction page here:
