Academic libraries frequently operate under distinct entitlement and authorization frameworks, coupled with long-standing privacy expectations that shape when and how they can adopt federated identity. As a result, many still depend on stopgap methods such as IP-range authorization to manage access.
Join representatives from Internet2, EBSCO, and the academic library community as we discuss what makes federation adoption challenging for libraries and service providers. The live session will focus on access to research and will uncover opportunities to lower those barriers.
We will explore how libraries can leverage the security enhancements of institutional identity providers while maintaining libraries’ privacy-protecting expectations. This session will share a snapshot of current access methods, survey findings from libraries, and look ahead at how the Internet2 and academic library communities might more effectively “bridge the gap.”
Whether you represent a library platform, a content provider, an Identity Provider operator, or a librarian, this discussion will illuminate practical steps toward making federated identity work for everyone in the academic information ecosystem.

- Amanda Ferrante, Principal Product Manager, Identity & Access Management, EBSCO
- Zhaneille Green, E-Access Librarian, Duke University
- Albert Wu, InCommon Federation Manager, Internet2
