Since the end of January, ninety-six institutions have committed to
OpenAthens. A list of the ones that have given permission to publish
their name is available on the Eduserv website

I have the details of institutions that are happy to explain their
reasons for choosing OpenAthens. Please contact me off-list for further
information.

Eduserv is also running a series of events to explain the options open
to institutions and the benefits of outsourcing via OpenAthens. This
will also include feedback from institutions subscribing to OpenAthens.

Subject: [ATHENS] Athens after July 2008

Hello all, 

Here at Trinity College, Carmarthen we are interested to hear what
route other institutions have decided to adopt once JISC ceases to fund
Athens. We are currently hearing conflicting reports about the best
route available and the associated costs.

Has anyone decided to adopt the OpenAthens route and use the
Athens-Shibboleth gateway for the Shibboleth resources, or have you
decided to adopt the Shibboleth route.

Please feel free to respond on or off-list.

I am happy to summarise for the list if there is enough interest.

Alison
