Theroughedges Multiple registrations needed to fully engage with all SLQ’s services Accuracy of data suspect as no easy way for clients to update their details High rate of duplication as information systems exist as silos Labour intensive for staff Delayed access to collections and services for clients registering online
Anidentitymanagementapproach Identity management - all the processes and systems that allow the creation, retrieval, update, verification and destruction of identities, including rights/authority granted. (JISC, 2012, p.10) • Registration (who are you?) • Authentication (how do I know it is you?) • Authorization (what are you allowed to do?) (Smith & McKeen, 2011, p.170) One person = One identity
Thechallenge How can we improve the SLQ membership registration experience so that online engagement is: • easier and more secure for members, • less time-consuming for staff and • compliant with legislative requirements?
Projectstages • Stage 1 - Investigate technical options. Develop an agreed set of identity management business rules. • Stage 2 - Design online interfaces for both “front of house” membership access and “back of house” account management module with priority systems. • Stage 3 - Communicate and promote. Integrate more systems into the new membership framework.
Technical considerations Microsoft Active Directory Services selected as “central source of truth” based on these criteria:
Access now • Choose your own username and password and get access immediately • Simpler service offer – one registration method for everyone • Empower members to manage their own accounts (contact details, passwords) • Empower staff to help • No more library cards (except for onsite services – borrowing and printing/copying)
Maintaining our duty of care • How to provide easy online registration that also meets our duty of care for onsite services to children?
Privacy • We needed to address changes to Queensland’s privacy legislation. • Plus we were moving to a cloud-hosted content management system based off-shore.
To this… One form – easy to complete Immediate access to services Log in to update/renew/change password Using open data to look up Queensland addresses
Next steps • New membership model goes live Friday February 13th • Future plans: integrating venue management system and customer relationship management system into the model to provide a holistic SLQ membership experience
