Second mailing list for FIM4L
by Peter Gietz 11 Dez '19

11 Dez '19

Dear all, Since our list has been growing and since the members of this list might have different interests in FIM4L, we decided to create yet another list called fim4l-announce, for more general and political postings, and to use the current list only for the technical discussion. We would like to ask you to decide, whether to join the new list (at https://lists.daasi.de/listinfo/fim4l-announce) and whether you want to leave this list. Every one is most welcome to be in both lists. Best, Peter -- Peter Gietz, CEO DAASI International GmbH Europaplatz 3 D-72072 Tübingen Germany phone: +49 7071 407109-0 fax: +49 7071 407109-9 email: peter.gietz(a)daasi.de web: www.daasi.de Sitz der Gesellschaft: Tübingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 382175 Geschäftsleitung: Peter Gietz

Hi everyone, I've been lurking on this list for a while and have been meaning to introduce myself all semester. I thought I'd follow Lisa's strong lead an take an opportunity to follow suit. Here's a brief bio; you're welcome to publish my info to your website: John Felts is currently the Head of Library Technology and Systems at Coastal Carolina University. He has worked in library technology for 30 years and is a former patent holder and co-founder of Journal Finder, the first OpenURL Resolver and knowledge base to go into production in the United States. Throughout his career, John has focused on identifying and implementing innovative uses of technology in the provision of library services, acts as a consultant for commercial information content providers that serve the library community, and actively presents on issues involving library technology. He is currently a member of the Coalition for Seamless Access (RA21). I've enjoyed the exchanges and information shared to date and looking forward to having the opportunity to participate. Happy Holidays in advance!

Why “It only seems to work in discovery layers that themselves support Federated authentication”? I hope that’s the case: the user is authenticated, thus I know the user’s affiliation because they have chosen to give that to me. Is it possible for the discovery layer to incorporated the seamless libraries and retrieve the hint(s) in order to pass those to the GetFTR service? The user wouldn’t have to be authenticated: simply the hint retrieved. I haven’t looked closely at the libraries. judtih From: FIM4L <fim4l-bounces(a)lists.daasi.de> on behalf of "Boheemen, Peter van" <peter.vanboheemen(a)wur.nl> Date: Thursday, December 5, 2019 at 4:38 AM To: "'fim4l(a)lists.daasi.de'" <fim4l(a)lists.daasi.de> Subject: [External] Re: [Fim4l] Fwd: GetFTR I do see some other flaws: * If I understand this well, it will only work for publications that have a doi.

Harder to implement for small publishers * It only seems to work in discovery layers that themselves support Federated authentication, since they have tp provide the user affiliation to the GFTR API’s. I do not think that Google Scholar will give up authenticating by google over authenticating by distributed Identity providers. * Will it be easy to join the GFTR environment ?

A user won't have any control over whether there are GFTR links in the tool they are using any more than they control any other aspects of what an interface presents to them. From what I read, any discovery layer (what GFTR is calling a technology integration partner) will eventually be able to turn on GFTR links using the APIs. So, beyond Dimensions, Mendeley, etc. in the early pilot, GFTR links could eventually appear in Google Scholar (if Google wanted them to), in library subscribed databases (beyond Dimensions), in A&I services, in citation management tools, on ResearchGate, etc. The issue of aggregator content and GFTR is not whether the aggregators might turn on GFTR links (which they may) but that aggregator hosted content is currently not able to be a target for a GFTR link. So, if the library doesn't have the content from the publisher directly, the GFTR link will convey to the user that the library does not have it ... even if it does on an aggregator. Some of us suspect that while libraries will see this as a flaw in GFTR, the publishers will see this as a feature and so this "limitation" (to use Roger's term in the SK post) is likely to persist.

So unless aggregators take part (which seems very unlikely for EBSCO and ProQuest since they have their own discovery platforms) or link resolvers are integrated, users won't have access to large parts of the licensed content via GetFTR. Google Scholar covers lots of publishers, also provides access to free versions and integrates link resolvers, so I'm wondering why users should switch from Google Scholar (or a discovery tool provided by the library) to GetFTR?

Introduction
by Bush,Judith 18 Okt '19

18 Okt '19

Hello, I’m the Identity and Access Management Architect at OCLC. My background in identity management began with managing the first OCLC developer who worked on EZproxy after it was acquired by OCLC, and then managing the team that built the system that supports Identity management in the WorldShare product. Since then I’ve moved to the architecture role and have become involved at federation and inter-federation level working groups. I’m comfortable with my name and OCLC affiliation being published at the FIM4L website judith

Announcement
by Jos Westerbeke 07 Okt '19

07 Okt '19

Dear all, We are very happy to announce that we can start a LIBER working group for FIM4L. As many of you know, we were looking for an umbrella for FIM4L since its start, and we’re happy to share LIBER has agreed to be just that for the next year (at what time both parties will evaluate the fit). LIBER<https://libereurope.eu/about-us/> is a solid EU research library association (450 libraries) and we're glad that they will now provide a platform to work towards our goal<https://daasi.de/de/fim4l/#1560772737125-6fdbf4c2-f536>. Thanks to the work of Peter G., Jiri and Raoul, and also Birgit Schmidt (cc, Chair of the Steering Committee for Research Infrastructure, LIBER) we can start this working group. What are our plans so far? The LIBER working group FIM4L will work for a year (until end 2020) and the following deliverables are planned: * FIM4L Guidelines and Recommendations * Liaise with other initiatives (IFLA etc.) and cooperate with activities such as SeamlessAccess.org<https://seamlessaccess.org/> * Identify and describe good practice examples, and integrate these into the guidelines * Presentation of the guidelines and discussion/prioritization of the recommendations * Promoting the best way of using FIAM/SSO technologies while preserving patron privacy The idea is to publish our Guidelines and Recommendations as an IFLA standard<https://www.ifla.org/standards>. As both FIM4L and LIBER recognize the work FIM4L has planned could benefit libraries all over the world, and as our FIM4L community also consists of many non-European members, we think that it would be beneficial to make any recommendations be acceptable around the globe and that it would be beneficial to have global coverage in the governance body of FIM4L. Thus FIM4L has already commenced talks with IFLA as they have a global scope. We are also happy to see our email listserv has grown to +50 members. We appreciate your valuable collaboration and are looking forward to move on as a global initiative. Furthermore: * Caroline Checkley (University of Essex) represents FIM4L in the JISC UKFAM group. * I have been asked to join the (post RA21) SeamlessAccess Coalition and have accepted. In the coalition I will represent FIM4L. The coalition is heading the same way concerning attribute release. We are looking forward to cooperating with them, sharing libraries' concerns.

Fwd: Open invitation to participate in the Seamless Access Entity Category and Attribute Bundles Working Group
by Heather Flanagan 03 Okt '19

03 Okt '19

Hola a todos! Some of you will have seen this invitation via other lists; apologies for the duplication of so. But if you haven’t seen it, it’s an invitation to participate in a new working group to discuss and define attribute release. This is broader than just publisher/library (we’re very much hoping to see research participation as well); anyone interested in scholarly information sharing via FIM is more than welcome to participate. Drop me a note by 15 October 2019 if you are interested in what I hope will be a very active working group!

To that end, SeamlessAccess.Org <http://seamlessaccess.org/> is pulling together a working group of individuals to discuss and define what attributes are appropriate to release to allow for different the varying use cases of access to scholarly information resources.

Elsevier Federated Authentication changes (was RE: Hello and brief intro)
by Shillum, Chris (ELS-NYC) 18 Sep '19

18 Sep '19

Sure happy to. For reference, it is probably useful for me to crosspost here a message I posted yesterday to the JISC lis-e-resources list: As some of you have noted, we have recently made some updates to the institutional sign in user experience on ScienceDirect. These are part of a set of changes we are making in an effort to solve some long-standing difficulties users have accessing our products, and to ensure that the sign-in and access experience is consistent across all of Elsevier. I want to take this chance to apologise for any confusion caused as we make these changes, and to reassure you that they do not represent a change in our policies: we have always offered users the ability to access subscribed content by signing in with their institution without having to register for an Elsevier account. Similarly, when users opt to create an Elsevier account and link it to their institutional credentials to access personalised features such as alerts, we have always asked for a minimal set of information comprising name and email address. In our new approach, we are assuming that users who click the “Sign in” option want to access personalised features provided by an Elsevier account. We ask them for their email upfront so that we can check if they already have an account, and if so, allow them to link their institutional credentials to their existing account. This we hope will reduce a major source of user frustration when users create duplicate accounts inadvertently and then can’t access all of their personalised settings in once place. Users who want to access content without creating an Elsevier account can click on the “Check Access” button which currently appears on non-subscribed article pages, which will lead them through a flow which allows them to authenticate via their institution and access the content directly and anonymously if that’s their preference. Early feedback from users and customers has revealed that we need to make further improvements to make this distinction clearer. We are planning to make the following changes over the new few weeks: • Change the wording on the “sign in via institution” screen to explain why we’re asking users for their email • Give the users the option to skip the step of creating an Elsevier account if that’s not what they intended to do • Improve the visibility of the Check Access option in the ScienceDirect user interface. We will continue to monitor and make further adjustments as needed, so we welcome any and all feedback on this new approach. Our goal is to make it as quick and convenient as possible for users to access resources by signing in via their institution. Crucially, this is not at the expense of their personal data: we are committed to making access easier while improving, not chipping away at, user privacy. We firmly believe that users should only have to sign in to an Elsevier account if there’s a reason, and a benefit to them.
