Charge
Providing online access to licensed scholarly content with optimized user experience and privacy protection is a major service of libraries.

It will focus on activities listed below in its initial period, and can redefine their charge after that point:
- Recruit people with interest and expertise in federated authentication to initiate a community of practice;
- Establish a roadmap for knowledge/skills development for librarians;
- Collaborate with the Continuing Education Coordination Committee to host a series of structured webinars to educate the library community on federated authentication and implications for libraries;
- Manage details of the relationship with Seamless Access;
- Recommend an official representative to the Seamless Access Governance Committee;
- Provide regular updates to the Core membership on Seamless Access developments regarding patron privacy, equity of access, and other topics of interest.
