Subject: Re: Public libraries to provide free access to more ejournals than universities-huge learning agenda opportunity?
There is another angle to this discussion which is the sharing of resources through the redesign of accommodation. The first tri-partnership library has recently opened in Southend and the issue of 'sharing' e-resources was a challenge not fully met. The new venue houses a public library, South Essex College hard copy resources and the University of Essex hard copy and a number of e-resources. The terms of various licences redefined the spirit of cooperation and in the end forced a rethink of who can assess what. The where translated into separate floors, separate IT systems and access restricted by card only entry.

Presumably the licence would be different and would depend very much on the journals in question. It's not unusual for different publishers to have different restrictions. And many platforms have DRM within them to detect 'unusual' activity, for example, a high number of article downloads within a short space of time. I have known of suppliers to contact institutions when they suspect improper use: it's not idle threat.
For what it's worth, I think the move to allow academic e-journals to be used in public libraries is extremely positive, and to me it's an extension of other academic resources that are already licenced for use in public libraries, for example Grove Music.

Good thought. Clearly if commercial use is forbidden, we can't take advantage. Will have to wait for the details.
