Is this a widespread expectation within .ac.uk? I was rather expecting
that central Academic Computing or MIS groups would end up providing a
general Shib service for an institution, of which e-journal (etc.) access
coordinated by libraries would be an initial user, perhaps followed by
e-science and other applications.
The alternative would seem to be for libraries to run an e-journal
targeted Shib service, science faculties to run an e-science targeted Shib
service, etc, etc. Isn't this madness?
