> Grace will be describing efforts underway on project OLE (Open Library
> Environment) which is a Mellon Foundation sponsored initiative now
> under the auspices of the Kuali Foundation. The OLE project is
> developing a community-source, enterprise level software that will
> replace current integrated library systems (ILS) as well as several
> ancillary systems necessary today to manage scholarly content.
> 
> As a regional cloud application the project has the potential of
> replacing expensive proprietary systems of many libraries and
> Federated Identity management will be a central component of the
> system, enabling strong individualization of collections to be
> maintained and access to resources provided based on the identity and
> role of the user. The New Jersey’s implementation of OLE will leverage
> the identity management work of the individual institutions as well as
> NJTrust, New Jersey’s Identity management trust federation.

> Please join us to hear more about developments of the exciting

> The call in number is 1-877-944-2300, access code 99205#. We look
