• Multi-part e-collection Decision going to All-Chairs

• transition team meeting with incoming chairs

• Licensing decision: meet with Jackie re: licensing issue isn’t direct overlap with SILS. Probably going to be a handoff to Tamara

• SL (CDL): Licensing issue also related to Acq, would it make sense to take it back to them given how it evolved beyond the initial scope?

• MP: Will run it by Acq. Also, if escalation method is generally going to be going to All Chairs, then Acq can see it there.

  After some review, I think there’s the following breakdown of resources in the various CRL CZ collections: 

1. CRL Monographs/Newspapers/Serials (both OA and non-OA): These collections seem to contain titles that have been digitized and are available for CRL members (or everybody for the OA collections). These all contain portfolios, but aren’t indexed in the CDI.

2. CRL Catalog: This looks to be just for titles that haven’t been digitized, so are available for members to ILL. This collection only has two portfolios, but has millions(?) of titles indexed in the CDI. 

Prior to the migration RMFG had a recommendation to potentially activate the CRL Catalog collection in order to recreate the discovery environment we had for CRL resources in Melvyl. Consulted with UCLA RMCMOS rep, Hermine Vermeij, and we agreed that while this originally started as a RMFG decision, since it was dealing with CZ collections, it seemed like a question for ERES.

• Michelle Polchow will check ELUNA archives to see if this has been addressed elsewhere.

• If that doesn’t help, Kevin Balster will post question to ALMA list

Future deliverables

Authentication/authorization protocols

Deliverable -

• knowledge sharing stage

20 min

Carla Arbagey

Sarah Lindsey

• authentication/authorization: largely managed by IT

  • UCR & UCSC working on OpenAthens implementation

  • https://seamlessaccess.org/

  • https://seamlessaccess.org/posts/2022-10-31-contractlanguagemodellicense/

• UCR waiting on approval for OpenAthens

• UCD has some resources configured for SSO login

• Possible problem with single sign on managed by campus - other units on campus can effect Library access

• Also issue with longevity of IP authentication given future browser updates that may obscure IP addresses.

• MP: Current issues with IP authentication include lack of support for IPv6

• SSO can be incredibly time consuming to setup - process varies for every platform. OpenAthens

• SL (CDL): how does OpenAthens work with walk-ins?

  • Carla will check

• OpenAthens likely passes on limited user data (just confirming a user is affiliated with a campus)

• ALA source on future of authentication

• JK: only implemented SSO in a few cases where necessary. Lots of time involved. Worrying to do it more broadly, but want to get ahead of it since providers offer SSO to users who may get caught not being able to use it.

• JP: we have signed licenses where providers guarantee access, but if they switch to a method that is untenable, then would be a breach

• cases of providers switching to SSO only
