i can see many library administrators being skeptical about openid...
at my library we're actively looking at shibboleth. i don't know enough
about either one yet to speak intelligently about them,
but..doesn't shibboleth operate similarly to openid?

cheers,
susan

While OpenID has potential within certain contexts, I have difficulty seeing
it being quickly adopted by libraries, universities, or other entities that
need to relate real identities to an OpenID. OpenID doesn¹t do trust; it
explicitly says it is not a trust system. For libraries to adopt OpenID,
they need to somehow link OpenID to a trust system. It isn¹t clear to me
that there is enough added value to libraries at this point to adopt OpenID
­ of course, I¹d be glad to buy someone a beer if they provide a use case to
convince me otherwise ;-)

Well, naturally, academia has thought of this and overengineered it to
death:

 http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/

which is why it's taken 7years so far and there is still very few
implementations.
