<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia">All stakeholders have an
interest in ensuring that properly licensed content is made accessible and
usable to the authorized communities. Content providers want to minimize
cancellation due to under-utilization while maximizing efficiencies in their
business. Libraries want to ensure that users aren’t blocked from content to
which they should have rights. <span></span></span></p>

Around Continuing Access</span></b><span style="font-family:georgia"><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia">Librarians encounter a
variety of issues when managing access to e-journals, and these issues become
more complex as we consider the medium- to long-term. Journals transfer between
publishers, subscriptions change over time and entitlement information is lost,
and journal content can disappear if publishers fail. We will outline the range
of problems encountered by libraries and consider steps that can be taken to
improve assurance of access.<br>

Tips to ensuring that patrons have access to paid content</span></b><span style="font-family:georgia"><br>
<b>Jennifer Leffler</b>, <i>Technical Services Manager, University of

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia">Safeguarding patrons’
access to paid content is a hallmark of the work of electronic resources
librarians. While this is a known role, the challenges are vast and varied.
Access problems arise at many stages of the lifecycle of electronic resources,
from purchase and renewal to vendor changes and cancellation. This talk will
look at specific examples of access issues from a mid-sized, state institution
and provide ideas on how to compact these difficulties.<span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia"><br></span></p>
