Learning Objectives
- describe the consequences (legal, business-process or information system security based) arising from the lack of authoritative institutional identity management services from the subscriber AND the publisher perspective
- take home ideas and tools to start towards improved management of such information
- take home discussion points to share with their institutions and vendors/clients
Abstract
Account confusion appears to be a frequent occurrence for institutional subscribers of electronic content. While the reasons vary, the issue prompts the question if identity management services would be feasible. This panel explores the issues from the publisher and subscriber angles and hopes to generate ideas for moving forward.
