The Ms Andrea (content was shared a few weeks ago) just might set the stage for us. This is hands-on material, let's brainstorm how we might engage here or somewhere. Read on...... Noreen Whysel via https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1311182?hl=en kantarainitiative.org to Tom, wg-riup This has become part of the library school curriculum. I see continuing ed opportunities and one off lectures on this topic regularly. I can forward any that come my way if anyone is interested in the challenges of serving unhoused and unschooled patrons. On Thu, May 23, 2024 at 3:44 PM Tom Jones wrote:

Andrea Hansen-Miller, a licensed clinical social worker who helps homeless people, runs her office out of the Minneapolis Central Library, offering visitors snacks, warm clothes, assistance finding housing, and mental-health support. “The police regularly clear the city’s streets of encampments, but officers don’t run unhoused people out of Central,” Paige Williams explains https://link.newyorker.com/click/35479095.991350/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmV3eW9ya2V... in this in-depth, on-the-ground report from Minnesota. “As long as they follow the rules, any patron—and everyone at the library is called a patron—can stay all day, every day.” Such policies make the library a natural place for social workers to meet individuals where they are likely to be—but not everyone who works there has the training or skills necessary to assist unhoused people, many of whom are in crisis. “A lot of people come into the public library, or go into librarianship, and are shocked by the fact that it’s not their childhood library,” one librarian at Central explains. “It can be exhausting to see so many people who need so much, or who have so little.” In these ways, as Williams explores, the library is a mirror, reflecting our shared social distress, while also offering insights into how we must adapt to better support those in need..

So the query must provide trust context to the user agent so that it can display a trust assurance that the user can understand. Presumably this would include a signature and certificate of some sort. When the user accepts the request then the first step of trust establishment is completed. The presentation response from the holder to the verifier should allow the completion of trust establishment. Trust establishment may fail at either step as either party may reject the establishment. If the verifier rejects the presentation response from the holder, they may be able to continue the interchange by sending information to the holder’s agent to allow a different response, for example if the holder has a different credential that might work. The query is sent to the holder’s device which needs to select the user agent that will process the request. If the device cannot find a wallet it may be able to help the holder locate an appropriate app. Have a restful evening, Jim
