Access and Identity Management: Controlling Access to Online Information

This work gives a detailed overview of issues related to providing access and identity management in the library, especially in relation to protected library e-resources, and gives tips on choosing access and identity management products and services. Although each chapter can stand alone, the chapters are ordered to progress from simple to complex issues. After an overview of electronic resources, coverage encompasses principles and definitions of access and identity management, authentication technologies, and authorization based on physical location, user identity, or affiliation with a library. One chapter is devoted to technological and public access issues related to Internet access provided by or in libraries. The book includes a detailed glossary and 35 pages of case studies from the US, UK, and Europe demonstrating the implementation of access management technologies.
