Speaker:
- Laird Barrett, Product Manager for the Springer Nature Identity team
Laird Barrett’s Identify Team takes responsibility for authenticating visitors
to our websites, like Nature.com and SpringerLink. He is Springer Nature’s
representative to the RA21: Resource Access in the 21st Century Steering
Committee.

Overview:
Soon Springer Nature plans to implement a new institutional authentication and
access journey on Nature.com, making use of the SeamlessAccess.org (formerly
RA21: Resource Access in the 21st Century) services.

It can be painful for your researchers to gain access to your subscriptions on
a publisher’s site when they are outside of your institution’s network IP
ranges.  Researchers are required to authenticate themselves as members of
your institution by using a proxy, federated authentication, or another means.

Laird Barrett, Product Manager for the Springer Nature Identity team, will
talk about the problem researchers face. Laird will demonstrate and explain
the solution we will implement to address the problem and what we are planning
next for the new experience. You will have the opportunity to discuss your
questions with Laird.

General Information:
If you are interested and unable to attend, please register and the recording
will be sent to you afterward.

Thank you in advance for your time. We look forward to you joining.

All the best,
Mitch
