Originally presented April 8, 2015.
This hour-long webinar covers the results of an online survey that sought to get at libraries’ true experiences working to maintain perpetual access for electronic serials that have been canceled, have ceased, or have transferred to different publishers. The session covers the extent to which perpetual access is currently being pursued at libraries, the varying reasons for success or lack of success, and the cost—both monetary and labor-based. Further discussion expands on key findings and the most common obstacles to providing perpetual access.
