Description

What if a every student in a statewide, multi-type consortium could log into consortium databases with their school-issued Google or Microsoft email address? Except the 600,000 student email accounts are administered by 171 different districts, and you're a staff of two, and you're self-hosted, and you don't know your SP from your IDP?

Join the Kentucky Virtual Library as we explain how we went from What if? to That Was EZ! with the help of a patient school district IT team, EZproxy support docs, and the generous assistance of EZproxy listserv colleagues from Boston to Australia. We'll focus on nuts-and-bolts implementation steps and provide extensive documentation, including model login page html and JS to seamlessly direct users to the right authentication server, for those who want to try this at home!
