Meeting Room 5
Product or Program Track
Primo/Metalib
Session Description
The objective of the Northwestern Identity Services Gateway (ISG) project is to leverage a vendor-supported cloud solution to allow users to authenticate into University systems using either Northwestern University or external social media credentials. Library patrons can now log into the Primo/Alma applications using Google, Facebook, LinkedIN, Twitter, or other "as-needed" logins. The technical architecture and workflow processing will be discussed and demonstrated.
