Shibboleth / InCommon

I discovered recently that UVM is a member of a group called InCommon which is working on a framework for managing user identities across institutions. They're using Shibboleth for authorization and access. The following vendors are either members or support InCommon: CSA, OCLC, Elsevier, Ebsco, JSTOR and Safari. There appears to be growing support for this from our e-resource vendors.
