Has anyone any information or opinions on the following problem?
A new regional wide internet page has been set up locally and there is the
possibility to provide details of our journal holdings including links to
the full-text of journals where we have set this up. Only NHS staff will
be able to access the site but it will be staff based at a number of
different trusts. This has prompted thought on the following problem -
if we include details of our username and passwords for accessing the
journals would this contravene the license provided by the publishers
because non-members would be able to access the information? Also would
the fact that all of our current e-journals are free because we subscribe
to the printed version have any bearing on this and would it be different
once we subscribed to online only versions.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated
