Publisher Interface Study

February 1, 2009 in Programme Management, Strategy and Policy, Uncategorized by markwilliams

Clearly we are moving from a startup Federation to a more mature evolved one. Part of this process is looking at End User experience and how that can be improved. So FYI:

Invitation to Tender for the JISC Collections Service Provider Interface Study

JISC Collections wishes to commission a study to explore the approaches taken by Service Providers to the implementation of federated access management, and its effect on the End User experience. The aim of the study is to make clear recommendations regarding common terminology and practices across service provider platforms to both improve the user experience and to ensure the maximum number of successful authentications.

It is expected that the project will be undertaken over a 4 month period between 30th March–20th July 2009.
The deadline for proposals is 12 noon on Monday 2nd March 2009.
Funding of up to £35,000 (including VAT, travel and subsistence) is available for the project.
