Access to online library resources can be quite complex. Patrons normally have easy access when signed on to a campus network but when working from other locations ��� as modern work patterns often demand ��� the same patrons are increasingly asked to ���log in to their institution���. This process can release identifying information. Known as federated authentication, delivering Single Sign On (SSO), this process, if not configured correctly, is at odds with the responsibility of libraries to protect their patrons��� privacy. In order to preserve patron privacy, while also making the configuration and management of federated SSO connections easier for both libraries and publishers, LIBER���s FIM4L Working Group has drafted 10 Implementation Principles for SSO. In this webinar we discuss these new principles: "Federated Access to Online Resources: Principles & Recommendations for Library Services". How can we make use of it? What benefits will a library have from it? And publishers? Why should libraries be interested? We particularly look into principle 4. A choice has to be made by the library together with the publisher whether to configure option A or B. 4.A. Transitory Access - This access holds the highest level of privacy. 4.B. Personalized Access - Maintains a high level of privacy based on a pseudonym, and more user information and tracking can be added. Where is the choice driven by? Privacy? User experience? The library decides. This webinar is helpful for those who are facing publishers who want to establish an SSO connection.

These are the slides from the LIBER 2020 Session Securing and Building Trust. Session Description: LIBER’s 2022 vision is a world where research data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR), with as the predominant form of publishing, Open Access. However, we recognize that we are not there yet. There are many obstacles in our way before we can realize Open Access. One of them is Securing and Building Trust with researchers, publishers and institutions, such as universities, to enable this Open Access. If you are interested in how the LIBER community is planning on overcoming this obstacle, the following session will be relevant for you. The session ‘Securing and Building Trust’ will focus on three different research papers with an overarching theme of how to gain trust for policies related to Open Access in your library’s community and beyond. During this session, Arjan Schalken, will present the results of the pilot ‘You Share, We Take Care’, launched in 2019, implementing article 25 fa of the Dutch copyright law, stimulating sharing research output that is the result of publicly funded research. He will also elaborate on how the UKB managed to gain the trust and support from Dutch universities, legal departments and researchers, for this initiative. Jos Westerbeke, Pieter Gietz and Raoul Teeuwen will, subsequently, enlighten us on the FIM4L initiative: Federated Identity Management (FIM) for libraries, enabling patrons to trust libraries to protect their identities and supporting libraries in safeguarding their patrons, providing the next step towards Open Access. The presentation will introduce FIM and detail the FIM4L guidelines and recommendations, especially the options that are available to libraries for setting up a privacy preserving “Single Sign-On” (SSO). Finally, Claire Gillian Knowles and William Nixon will discuss their experiences of the University of Leeds and the University of Glasgow in building successful and sustainable repositories to capture and share research and the policies and relationships needed to build trust in those repositories. The session will address the challenges faced as well as provide an overview of the repository infrastructure and the trusted role it plays in both Glasgow and Leeds. It will conclude by highlighting how the library can support and maintain trust in the repository and its content.

EOSC, FIM4R, AAI, ddc:004, and DATA processing & computer science

Authored by: the FIM4R Community The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) will soon enter the next phase of integration and consolidation with the establishment of a common service portal listing underpinning services that enable distributed resources in the areas of computation, data, open access, and above-the-net collaboration services. The existing e-Infrastructures that are anticipated to be part of the EOSC each provide their own capabilities in terms of trust and identity management, integrity protection and risk management, as well as capabilities to support business continuity and disaster recovery in case of security incidents. There are also specific trust, collaboration management, and security services that are jointly managed by multiple e-Infrastructures for the benefit of (but in many cases not exclusively) the European research and collaboration community as a whole. These include for instance the glue between the EOSC AAI suite of services that each implement the AARC Blueprint Architecture (AARC BPA), i.e. the AAI services such as those from both national and pan-European Infrastructures as well as components such as credential translation bridge services.

Publishers more and more argue libraries for use of SSO to access their resources, instead of the widely used IP-based authentication. Still, many libraries hesitate to move away from IP-based authentication towards SSO with Federated Identity Management, although they could profit in terms of user satisfaction and cost efficiency. Researchers today work from many different locations, increasingly use research services and databases of many kinds. By deploying established standards, interoperability between libraries and user satisfaction will increase. To summarize the benefits of SSO: Libraries and publishers: better tailored contracts better statistics better way to lock and unlock persons when abuse occurs Researchers and students: personalisation of services better control over personal data sent to providers easy and fast access avoiding to create a new account for each service What is to be expected: Libraries are even pushed to use SSO. Several companies, as there are Gartner and Financial Times, are not allowing IP authentication anymore. This is trending and the world’s greatest publishers are working to improve SSO user experience (project RA21.org) in order to be able to implement it. Publishers like to ask personal information for the personification of their users on their websites. This is a great challenge for libraries because they want to protect their patrons and like to provide them anonymous access in the first place, which might be enriched afterwards with personal information by the user himself. Libraries need each other for making a policy such as a ‘minimal disclosure’ principle of exchanging personal information which should be compliant with the GDPR. What has been done on the way to SSO: The EC-funded AARC project reached out to the library community with three pilots: Pilot demonstrating specific configuration of EZproxy which allows to bring library resources without native support of SSO into SSO environment. The pilot is in production in Moravian Library and works seamlessly with EBSCOhost, ProQuest Central, SpringerLink. Pilot addressing the use case of library walkin users that generally do not use personal authentication, but public computers in the library’s network. Using the open source solution Shibboleth, a library can now handle IP-rangebased and more focused contracts with the same technology stack. The second pilot was then enhanced in such a way that IP ranges and respective entitlements can be managed by the library or by a group of libraries via a dedicated web interface. Another solution developed outside of AARC and in production at a German state library provides for enriching the user attributes it asserts to service providers with certain additional entitlements that depend on the network segment of the user’s client PC. This contribution will introduce in SSO and privacy and security, and describe the solutions mentioned in terms of use cases and advantages for libraries and their users.
