Had a couple of comments asking if the Institutional support ITT mentioned below ( Calling third parties ) means a change in the JISC position regarding the access management alternatives faced by institutions. Actually, far from it. Once the mechanisms are in place it will actually increase choice. At the moment a well resourced College is in a position to choose any of the three access management options, but a less resourced one may well find their theoretical choice narrowed down to one, in practice. We don’t want cost or sheer size (and therefore resourcing) of an institution to be the single determining factor in how they choose to solve access management issues, the whole issue is just so much more complicated than that. So the ITT is designed to give choice back to the smaller institutions most at risk of currently not having access to all the options. The regret is that the £225000 available for funding the support can only go so far.
And in my personal experience, once institutions have cost removed from an issue, they tend to choose very wisely indeed….
