The Palace Project is an open software platform hosted by LYRASIS designed to extend, aggregate, and simplify e-content access and reading to mobile devices regardless of digital rights management, content host, or service provider. The University of California is evaluating the platform along with other university systems and consortia to better understand how to leverage this technology to bring mobile access to their e-books and collections to students, staff, and faculty in a simple-to-use, accessible application. This presentation will provide project updates and information on how the use of the Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS) and Security Assertion Markup Language—Single Sign On (SAML-SSO) standards show promise to advance access to digital content across systems. This effort seeks to elevate awareness and adoption of an interoperable technology ecosystem and standards to power open community-owned infrastructure solutions for academic libraries.
