Shibboleth system of authentication for online resources

Jim Temple, Library Manager for Trafford College, and Chrissie Turkington, from the RSC-Northwest, discuss the Shibboleth system of authentication for online resources.

Jim and Chrissie explain how Shibboleth provides the opportunity for a single sign on to resources such as Britannica online. They explain some of the issues such as what is the UK Access Management Federation and dispel some of the myths including how much does it really cost.
