<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I am just this week wrapping up a CS student project (for which I'm the "client") that involves screenscraping publisher websites to determine if we in fact have access to the
journal volumes that our knowledgebase says we have. I don't know if you intended your technical review of access to include that level of what I call "reality checking".<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">But if anyone else out there reading this has done that kind of screenscraping coding, I'd be interesting in sharing the brittle details publisher by publisher of what you look
at on the publisher website to determine access. For instance, we've found that some publishers don't distinguish "you have access because we've made it free to everyone" (in a non-OA sense, like Nature, which could be revoked at any time) versus "you have
access because you paid for it" in any way that we can tell via screenscraping.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

looked helpful in going through such a deep project, or any personal tips that they wish they had known before diving into a similar project? I’m a little new to the e-resources field so I’m always looking for great research to jump off of.
