The InCommon Library Services Collaboration Vendor Group has produced two documents in draft form and seeks comment from the InCommon Community.

The Best Practices document focuses on resource providers (publishers and databases, for example) that provide Shibboleth-based access to their licensed content.

The Registry of Resources document includes information about resource providers that are in various stages of Shibboleth-compliance. This is intended as a resource for the community, particularly Identity Providers seeking to use federated access for such services.

The intent of these documents is to provide a checklist for vendors for Shibboleth implementation, and to provide implementation details to universities who would like to integrate with Shibboleth-enabled resources.

These documents are available through our wiki space: https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/inclibrary

Here are also direct links to the documents:

These documents are in draft form and open for community comment by December 15. Comments are enabled on these pages (you must be logged in to spaces.at.internet2.edu to comment) or you can send email to inc-lib-vendor@incommonfederation.org.
