JISC Access Management Showcase Event

Session E: Resource Management Within Institutions

Presentation Overview

Speakers: John Paschoud and Sally Rumsey, London School of Economics

This session is aimed at institutional library staff and Athens administrators.

As part of the development of federated access management, tools are beginning to emerge to support the work of libraries in managing resources including license terms and conditions and restricting resource access to certain groups of users. This session gives an overview of developments and will also be an opportunity for attendees to give their view on development requirements in this area.
