Since there have been no other on-list responses, I imagine this is not of general interest. We can take this off-list.

We use Shibboleth as the preferred Web-based authentication method on campus, and we of course have long been members of the InCommon federation. At least one vendor is starting to promote OpenAthens (formerly Athena) for authentication. OpenAthens claims some ability to interoperate with Shibboleth. I'm trying to see the concrete benefit of joining OpenAthens as well as InCommon.

> Hello everyone,

> This Wednesday, February 15, is the deadline to apply to be an Innovation in Libraries Awesome Foundation chapter trustee<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeXRtJZBWXBHr6BONcs1pMpfTYOhXcqcs-bhDh3YNkUiGvrtA/viewform?c=0&w=1>.

> As a reminder about the project….
>
> Facing the threat of diminished federal funding for innovative library projects, Library Pipeline has launched a new grant, funded by individual donors. The Innovation in Libraries Awesome Foundation chapter<http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/libraries> will award monthly $1,000 micro-grants to incubate small-scale library projects and experiments that embody the principles of diversity, inclusivity, creativity, and risk-taking. In our current political climate, we especially want to ensure funding and support for projects that fall outside traditional funding models.
>
> We’re now recruiting the first group of Innovation in Libraries Awesome Foundation chapter trustees--individuals who would personally fund the grant. If you know of any librarians that may not have the means to make a personal donation but who are interested in innovation in libraries, please still send this call their way--we have sponsorship available!
