This document discusses federated access management (FAM) solutions for distance learning programs at the University of London. It provides background on the university's international distance learning programs and its use of OpenAthens and Shibboleth for single sign-on access. It outlines what students, researchers, librarians, and administrators want from a FAM solution, including seamless access to resources, portability, and ease of use. The main drawbacks of current solutions are that they do not fully meet user needs and require multiple logins. There is a need for a more flexible solution that provides single sign-on access to all student services and resources to improve the student experience and support retention in distance learning programs.
This document provides an introduction to e-journals, including what they are, their advantages and disadvantages, why they should be used, and how to access them. The key points are:
- E-journals are scholarly publications published online in digital formats like PDF and HTML. They provide simultaneous global access and links to related research.
- Advantages include wider dissemination, access from anywhere, and the ability to access archives. Disadvantages include technical barriers and high acquisition costs.
- E-journals can be accessed through individual journal subscriptions, journal databases that aggregate titles, pay-per-view options on publisher sites, or open access models without fees like institutional repositories.

OpenAthens Conference 2018 - Trevor Hough - Case study - University of LeedsOpenAthens
The University of Leeds chose to implement OpenAthens single sign-on for online library resources to replace its aging SHIBBOLETH system. OpenAthens offers a cloud-based SAML authentication service that is interoperable with existing technologies and provides centralized reporting on resource usage. The implementation will occur in two phases - replacing the on-campus SHIBBOLETH with OpenAthens, then updating off-campus access points. This will create a unified single sign-on system across the university, replacing the three previous user experiences.

The document discusses strategies for improving library discovery and the end user experience. It emphasizes making library resources easy to find through a unified discovery service that allows full-text searching across databases. The discovery service should integrate well with the library website, authenticate users smoothly, and provide an intuitive interface optimized for mobile users. Data on several libraries shows discovery services dramatically increasing usage of online resources. Integrating with OpenAthens single sign-on can streamline authentication across devices for users. The Stacks discovery platform is highlighted as focusing on usability, design, and plug-and-play integrations to create the best digital experience for patrons and librarians.
Crawford University currently receives most student complaints through letters, which is also its preferred channel. However, the university wants to promote electronic channels like email and web forms to reduce costs. A past study found that students at Crawford most often complain about billing, electricity, and other social facilities, and that money is a main motivator for complaining. While electronic channels may not replace traditional channels completely in the near future, letters and faxes are expected to decline if Crawford can offer a reliable and effective online complaint system. Students see online complaining as mainly a substitute for written communication, so the electronic channel can be viewed as complementary to options like phone or in-person complaints.

Using Web 2.0 Applications as Information Awareness Tools
The past few years have seen several new technological initiatives at Drexel University in interdisciplinary fields such as Nanomedicine, Engineering Cities, Drug Delivery, Plasma Medicine, Nanoscale Science and Technology, Microfluidics, and Bionanotechnology. These technological initiatives require faculty and students to work together in groups in a collaborative fashion. This has motivated librarians to experiment with new ways of reaching out to faculty and students. Drexel's emphasis on team based engineering design projects requires students to develop critical understanding of engineering subject areas. Developing awareness about the core electronic resources such as IEEE Xplore, Knovel, Web of Knowledge, Science Direct and Engineering Village is crucial in successfully undergoing research and completing assignments in their classes.
This presentation outlines innovative experiments using web 2.0 applications to increase information among faculty and students. Several web 2.0 tools such as Facebook, Friendfeed, Del.icio.us, Google Reader, Wikis, and blogs will be covered. Having engineering librarian's presence on Facebook is useful since many of the students are heavy Facebook users. Drexel's student Organizations such as IEEE and ASME are also on Facebook. Moreover, Drexel University's College of Engineering has recently launched its Facebook page where activities celebrating National Engineering Week have been quickly promoted among student. Drexel Engineering Information Awareness Campaign Group is a librarian-created Facebook group aimed at increasing awareness of new and existing resources among faculty and students. Feeds from Google Reader can be made automatically available on Facebook pages. For this to happen, a user needs to become ‘a friend’ with the engineering librarian on Facebook.
As faculty and students become more aware of new and existing information tools, the information skills learned during the process of exploring these resources will contribute to life-long learning among the engineering students.

The document discusses the concept of dissolving problems rather than just solving them. It uses the example of a transportation system with double-decker buses that was having issues between drivers and conductors due to their incentive structure. Management tried ignoring the problem, removing incentives, and sharing incentives but nothing worked. Finally, a consultant took a broader view and redesigned the system so conductors collected fares from passengers waiting at stops rather than on the bus, dissolving the original problem and improving the overall system.
The document discusses week 3 of a course on Managing Communications, Knowledge and Information which focuses on Soft Systems Methodology tools including developing rich pictures to represent complex problem situations, performing CATWOE analysis to identify relevant viewpoints, and constructing root definitions to model potential systems from those perspectives.

Rich pictures are a simple visual method used in software development to demonstrate technical system aspects to non-technical stakeholders. They show processes, actors, data storage, relationships, and system boundaries. Components include stick figures to represent actors, ovals for processes, rectangles for data storage, and arrows to define relationships and data flow. To create a rich picture, one identifies relevant actors, their operations, required data, flows, and the system boundary.

State chart diagrams describe the different states an object can be in, the transitions between states, and activities that occur during an object's lifetime. A state diagram models the transitions within a single class in response to events. Elements include initial and final states, states, transitions between states indicating triggers and guards, and pseudostates. Common pseudostates include choices, histories, junctions, entry/exit points, and terminate. State diagrams are useful for modeling workflows, document processing, real-time applications, and the behavior of a class over multiple use cases.
This chapter introduces state diagrams and their components. It discusses how state diagrams describe the states of an object and transitions between states triggered by events. It covers initial and final states, actions, activities, and different types of events. The chapter also discusses transitions between states and the use of guard conditions. Finally, it introduces concepts like substates, concurrent state diagrams, and ways for orthogonal components to communicate in concurrent state models.

This document discusses the automation of library services through a library management system called Liberty. It provides an overview of the need to manage both physical and electronic resources as technology advances. It then describes the features and capabilities of the Liberty system, including its core modules for cataloging, circulation, serials, acquisitions and more. It also discusses additional modules and services like cloud access, mobile apps, and integration with virtual learning environments. The goal is to demonstrate how Liberty can help optimize resource management and improve library services.
According to Mitchell, (2003) and (Marsall, 2002) literature, The Online Library System improves the efficiency of Librarians, Library employees and Users. The Online Library System to be implemented benefits greatly the members and the Librarian of Arusha Technical College. The system provides books catalog and information to members and helps them decide on the books to borrow from the library. The Librarian can keep the books catalog updated all the time so that the members (students and the lecturers) get the updated information all the time.
This document discusses identity and access management using Shibboleth and Edugate. It describes identity providers (IP) that authenticate users and service providers (SP) that authorize access. Edugate establishes trust between IP and SP using SAML protocol. The document outlines library use cases for integrating systems like Summon, repositories, catalogs and reference managers with Edugate single sign-on. It also provides guidance on getting publishers, Ezproxy, Millennium and Summon to participate in Edugate federated authentication.
Cloud Computing:An Economic Solution for LibrariesAmit Shaw
This document discusses cloud computing and its potential applications and benefits for libraries. It begins with an introduction to cloud computing that defines it as enabling ubiquitous, convenient access to configurable computing resources. The document then covers cloud computing characteristics, models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), architecture, examples of current uses, and pros and cons. In particular, it explores how cloud computing could provide more efficient and flexible library services by reducing costs and increasing storage and mobility while allowing libraries to shift their focus from infrastructure maintenance. Real-world examples of academic libraries currently using cloud solutions are also presented.
The document discusses different ways libraries can customize services for patrons using technologies like RSS, widgets, and mashups. It provides examples of how some universities and public libraries have implemented these technologies. The goals are to make access to information more seamless, relevant, and personalized for users. However, challenges include privacy, development costs, and technical issues. The document predicts these customization methods will become more popular and collaborative as security improves.
This document discusses key concepts of federated access management (FAM) including:
1) FAM allows for single sign-on access to online resources across domains through distributing authentication, authorization, and accounting functions to appropriate parties like identity providers and service providers.
2) Identity providers handle authentication of their users while service providers control authorization based on attributes like role and affiliation.
3) Standards like SAML and Shibboleth facilitate trust between identity providers and service providers so users' access is managed according to their home institution's policies.

Digital library and MLE integration - where are we now and where do we want t...Andy Powell
The document discusses how the OpenURL framework can help link between discovery services and delivery services in a distributed information environment. OpenURL allows metadata about a referenced item, like a journal article, to be transported from an OpenURL source, like a discovery service, to an OpenURL resolver. The resolver then provides context-sensitive links to appropriate delivery services, like access to the full text, based on the user's institution. This provides a better linking experience than hard-wiring links directly from discovery to delivery services.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
