Shibboleth, a Hebrew watchword once used to distinguish tribal affiliation, has reemerged as a brand name for a unique middleware authentication product. Developed by Internet2, a U.S. networking consortium, Shibboleth is a federated, open source authentication suite serving research federations and higher education. Shibboleth is a freely-available product, providing seamless access across multiple institutional platforms including: databases, data, internal documents, indexes, etc. Offering a single password sign-on, Shibboleth provides a secure gateway between users and proprietary resources.

Abstract: This article is a summary of the second Moving Mountains Conference on the physical delivery of materials. The Conference was held in Cincinnati in September 2008. An ad hoc group of librarians involved in delivery regularly meet to discuss best practices and new applications. This article covers similarities between the logistic industry and libraries, a survey of physical delivery practitioners, and new trends in home delivery and automatic material handling systems. The growth of physical delivery, models of delivery, vendor relationships, and the Rethinking Resource Sharing group are also discussed.

The March-April, 2009, issue of ICOSA: Connection & Collaboration addresses the important questions of environmental preservation, energy production and sustainability.1 While daunting challenges mount for reversing the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, reducing pollution and reclaiming the earth’s endangered spaces, solutions to these problems are found, not surprisingly, in collaboration. Article after article drives home this point. Neal Lurie, in describing the efforts of the American Solar Energy Society to promote greater use of solar energy and other sustainable technologies, emphasizes the importance of understanding the common thread that binds together the individuals and organizations wanting to make a positive difference in energy production and use. He remarks, “Without that common thread it’s easy to lose perspective and slip into tunnel-vision thinking. People often view other organizations exclusively through a competitive lens. This narrow approach can put otherwise good organizations at a competitive disadvantage, precluding the possibility of working with partners. In today’s economy, strategic collaboration is critically important and needs to be a part of the organizational toolkit.”2
