ALA Midwinter Program - Role of the Professional Librarian in Technical Services Interest Group
Time: Saturday, January 21, 10:30 am-12:00 pm
Location: Dallas Convention Center - Room D174
Topic: Perpetual Access: Peaks and Pitfalls
Presenters: Jane Smith (Coordinator of Electronic Resources, Texas A&M University); Eugenia Beh (Electronic Resources Librarian, Texas A&M University)
Librarians want to have perpetual access clauses in our licenses and we know that publishers will provide them, but what are we actually getting with our perpetual access rights? Our two focus speakers will discuss the results of their
examination of perpetual access clauses from 20 of the Texas A&M University Libraries’ licenses for major journal packages, including the impact on the electronic resources and serials workflows; the potential impact on the acquisitions and cataloging staff;
and how perpetual access affects current and/or future functions as technical services librarians. The speakers will present a chart comparing the perpetual access rights offered by the 20 publishers.
After the presentation we will then open the discussion to the audience to learn how librarians at other institutions deal with perpetual access.
The meeting will conclude with a brief business meeting.
Jane Smith is the Coordinator of Electronic Resources at Texas A&M University, a post she has held since 2008. From 2002 – 2008, she served as the Education Librarian at Texas A&M. Prior to her academic library career, she was a
