- Some Background
The Coalition for Networked Information is one source for related materials. Your best background reading bet is its white paper, edited by Clifford Lynch, entitled A White Paper on Authentication and Access Management Issues in Cross-organizational Use of Networked Information Resources. Prepared in the Spring of 1998, it is the result of a long preparation process including email list review and face to face meetings of topical experts.Additional background on this topic can be found at the Digital Library Federation's website.
