Those dealing with anything digital are aware there they have too many passwords and user names to allow easy access to computers, email, resources, subscriptions, mailing lists etc. The UK’s Joint Informations Systems Committee (JISC) is leading the way in radically simplifying this with the use of Federated Access. The aim is that educational users only have to rely on one institutional password to access a range of local and national resources.
This is all explained in a jolly little video that JISC has produced and made available via their JISC website
