InC-Library Phase I
Phase I of the collaboration involved developing use cases for deploying Shibboleth for accessing protected library resources, with a particular interest in accommodating various user groups -- students, faculty and staff, walk-in library users -- as well as methods for providing remote access for users with university credentials.
The collaboration studied the use of Shibboleth, EZProxy, and a combination of the two.
Background
Use Cases

- Serving off-campus library users -- Cornell
- Implementing EZProxy and using it with Shibboleth -- University of California-San Diego
- Migrating to EZProxy and integrating with Shibboleth (moving away from IP-based authentication) -- University of Chicago
- Accommodating Walk-Up Users with Location-Based Authentication -- University of Washington
- Testing EZProxy workflow with EBSCO interface and Shibboleth SessionInitiators -- University of Maryland
- Campus experiences with EZProxy
Working with Vendors/Sponsored Partners
- Resource/Service Providers active in other federations (a good starting point to discuss federating with potential sponsored partners.
