Just the beginning
The introduction of eduroam is just one project in a series of initiatives to share resources among universities, laboratories, and research centers. Easily sharing resources is possible because Temple joined the InCommon federation. The federation provides a secure way for each university to verify login credentials by sending them back through a system at the user's affiliated university.
Stay tuned as plans are underway to add more shared resources.
