For over two years the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI) libraries have been investigating an implementation of Shibboleth as a means to address a variety of issues (e.g., single sign-on, distributed ID management, remote access authentication/authorization). In 2005, we began installing the code and playing with a local implementation. The work has focused primarily in four areas: (1) making the business case for Shibboleth, (2) integrating multiple services into the model, (3) delivering transparent services in a hybrid world, and (4) collaborating with our ILS vendor (Ex Libris) to create an integrated, deliverable, Shibbol-ized product with documentation. In early 2006, this collaboration generated a production-level implementation that will serve the USMAI Libraries and other Ex Libris product users.

The University of Chicago has been planning its implementation of Shibboleth for several years. Planning resumed in earnest this past year and we have been testing with information partners. This has been a joint effort between the library and the campus information technology group.  The Librarians’ perspective of the planning experience will be shared during this session.
