Leading Easy Access to Content: ra21’s Final Recommendations and Insights from the RA21 Hospital Clinical Access Working Group

Monday, May 6
2:35 PM - 2:50 PM
Room: Columbus GH (East Tower, Ballroom/Gold Level)

Background: RA21’s goal is simple, trusted access—anywhere, anytime on any device. Publishers, libraries, and consumers should understand that authorizing access to content based on IP address no longer works in today’s distributed world. The project resolved some fundamental barriers to moving to federated identity in place of IP address authentication. With its multi-stakeholder process, STM and NISO determined best practice for future implementations going forward. RA21’s recommendations deliver seamless authentication as users move between online resources, while preserving anonymity. Independent of workflow or location, it enhances security, supports customizations and enables usage analytics. NISO’s Recommended Practices document showcases this effort.

Description: Building on CNI’s 2016 Report on the Authentication and Authorization Survey, and the 2015 P.D.R. pharma librarian initiative, the STM Association and NISO convened conversations with multi-stakeholders on how to improve the user experience. After 3 years of work and pilots, final reports and recommendations are available. The goal of more seamless access will enter its next phase. In 2019, the STM RA21 efforts will go to NISO for development of recommended practices.

This session will present select recommendations, data and themes from a few final efforts:
• “NISO Recommended Practices (RP) for Improved Access to Institutionally-Provided Information Resources”
• “GÉANT Data Protection Code of Conduct”
• RA21 Hospital Clinical Access Working Group “2019 Survey of Hospital/System Librarians Regarding Hospital/Clinical Access and RA21” conducted Feb.12 to March 22, 2019

Conclusion: RA21 program reports and recommendations from a Corporate Pilot, Academic Pilot and Security Group are included in the current NISO RP. From a thorough evaluation, the technical architecture prototyped was chosen and the security and privacy principles and practice were determined. Best practices for the future include 1) improved user login at publisher sites; 2) granular usage statistics; 3) set up/maintenance of Single Sign On with multiple publishers. The RA21 Hospital Access Working Group began work in 2018, and is evaluating its survey and focus group data, writing recommendations and a final report. It will include defining the unique use case and challenges for ‘single sign-on’ SSO and SAML technology within a hospital/healthcare system for accessing licensed resources, and adopting RA21 as an access strategy.
