The Cornell University Library (ICUL) in Ithaca, Cornell Informati= on Technologies (CIT) in Ithaca, and the Weill Cornell Medical Center (WCMC= ) in New York City are investigating various methods to make access to lice= nsed library content more seamless. Historically, the libraries at bo= th campuses have operated independently. The libraries have two different f= unding mechanisms and organizational reporting structure. Content may be li= censed for one campus, but not the other. Further complication is caused by= WCMC's close working relationship to two other institutions in New York Ci= ty, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and The Rockefeller University.&= nbsp; With print journals, cooperative collection development was possible = between the three Manhattan partners. Now days, staff from each institution= still walk over to the other building and log in to library computers for = electronic access to something not available at their home institution, but= faculty and grad students are demanding seamless access to everything. The= old model is broken.
Out of this has come a growing interest in investigating how Shibb= oleth might be used to solve authorization problems. CUL uses ezproxy for r= emote access to licensed library content. WCMC uses VPN, or WebVPN.
How do we create a Shibboleth-based model to address today's problems th= at can be extended into the future?
