About the Webinar
The first half of this two-part webinar program will provide an overview of the current landscape of options available to academic institutions for ensuring and streamlining access to materials by legitimate users. What’s working, which technological approaches may be outdated and what needs to be done (research, technology upgrades, etc.) to resolve the problem?
The second half of this session (scheduled for November 15) will provide an overview of the issues associated with delivering quality metadata by and to various stakeholders. Based on comments made, it’s an old issue. But what are the existing barriers? What improvements might be made? What stands in the way of successful implementation?
Part 2 of this webinar, Enhancing & Harmonizing Metadata for Discovery & Use, will be held on Wednesday, November 15, 2017.

Event Sessions
Content Anytime / Anywhere - Challenges in serving today’s mobile user
Speakers
IP access is still considered the “norm” today for providing the academic community access to the content that libraries acquire. However, user requirements have changed in a highly mobile world. Libraries need more intelligent data for budget and service applications. And privacy is increasingly of concern in our digital environment. In the context of identity and authentication management, what’s the impact of these changes?
Transforming the user experience with identity management and SSO
Speaker
Access to online information resources is vital for both students and faculty. Universities, colleges, and other institutions have made significant investments in e-resources, but frustrations around access can impede their usage among those who benefit from them the most. Subscription arrangements typically require that the institution or library will want to use their membership database to provide access to these resources, but IP recognition simply doesn’t work in these situations, and peer-to-peer SAML connections are too complex. This webinar will discuss the problems with both approaches, how the UK and US academic sectors are dealing with these challenges in different ways and what the future landscape of authentication might look like.
A Provider’s Perspective on Identity and Authentication Management
Speakers
Clarivate Analytics is the global leader in providing research, discovery, and analytics applications to the research ecosystem, including the world’s top universities, corporations, governments, and individuals. We support a variety of identity and authentication models—from anonymous access to named-user based approaches—depending on the market, product, and customer needs. In our experience, organizations find Single sign-on (SSO) the most desired authentication model, which comes with technical challenges on both the customer and provider side.
During the webinar, we will provide an overview of our experience in working with academic, and corporate customers, the common issues in SSO implementations, as well as some suggestions for areas of improvement between service providers and clients. We will also share lessons learned on balancing security and privacy concerns with ease of use and personalized user experience.
