Why can't you just put links in the VLE? Why is having the full article preferred? Only a single authentication challenge if it's in the VLE? I think you're making a lot of work for yourself when some user enlightenment might be the answer.

We are merrily digitizing chapters and articles under the CLA standard licence to add to our Blackboard VLE, linking to reading lists and of course, reporting to the CLA as required. Our students find it very useful to have full text access without linking out of College. However, there are now increasing instances where we would also like make available PDFs in Blackboard, from full text databases or e-journals we subscribe to. We have begun to work through our licenses to note which content we can include in Blackboard and are considering subscribing on a trial basis to the CLA Comprehensive Licence. However, in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone has already created a list from standard licenses that allow full text PDF's to be added to VLEs, or whether there is one freely available to consult? Any feedback on what others are doing in this area would be most appreciated!
