During this session, you will learn:

• How SAML and other federated access technologies differ from IP authentication
• The implications for libraries that move toward these types of access models
• Why SAML is complex and a barrier to many libraries and content providers who adopt it

We will also:

• Simplify some complex identity management terms
• Assess how various e-resource access models impact libraries
• Explore how IP authentication plays a part in the evolving landscape
• Explain how OCLC's EZproxy—a fully managed and hosted e-resource access and authentication solution—provides reliable, secure remote access to licensed e-content
