RA21 <https://ra21.org/> (Resource Access for the 21st Century) is a joint
STM <http://www.stm-assoc.org/> and NISO <http://www.niso.org/home/>
initiative aimed at facilitating a seamless user experience for consumers
of scientific communication when they seek access to scholarly resources,
by optimizing protocols across key stakeholder groups, such as Libraries,
ID management services, platform and content providers and publishers.



The project aims to:

• Recommend new solutions for access strategies beyond IP recognition
practices

• Explain the standard measures that publishers, libraries and end-users
should undertake for better protocols and security

• Test and improve solutions by organizing pilots in a variety of
environments for the creation of best practice recommendations



This morning event will provide an update on the progress and results
emerging from RA21 to date, including an in-depth look at the issues
addressed within the User Experience (UX) aspect of the project. The
morning will be followed by a networking lunch.
