InCommon Library Services

[Dean Woodbeck <>]

Hi folks,

The next InC-Library, Phase 2, call is this coming Friday, April 17. As 
agreed on the April 3 call, everyone was going to let me know their sub-group 
of interest. Please send me a note today or tomorrow letting me know your 
preference (). That will allow us to get organized 
before the call.  

Below you will find brief descriptions of the sub-groups that the InC-Library 
working group created during the April 3 meeting.

------

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.).
