But how do we create a virtual doorway that allows access for our community members yet blocks it for others? Many options exist: IP authentication and proxy servers\, single sign-on tools\, shared username and passwords\, referring URLs\, library card number identifiers\, Google CASA\, OpenID\, and more. This session will briefly review the most important authentication tools for libraries\, comparing benefits and drawbacks of the most common options. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter McCracken \n\n\n\nCornell University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nPeter McCracken is Director of Acquisitions and E-Resources Licensing at Cornell University\, and is currently chair of the ALA Core Authentication and Authorization Committee.
