Shibboleth is coming. The Athens contract with JISC runs out in July 2008 and the age of Shibboleth will have arrived. Are you ready? How will it differ from Athens?

This is an opportunity to hear what Shibboleth is and what it might mean for your library. We have put together a series of presentations which will help you to understand much more about what is in store.

Programme:
1.30 – 1.50 Registration

What it meant for the Library?”
