ALCTS webinar: Providing Perpetual Access

Date:  Wednesday, April 8, 2015

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

Description: This 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 will cover 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 will expand on key findings and the most common obstacles to providing perpetual access.

Learning outcomes: Following this webinar, participants should be able to more deeply understand the extent to which libraries are pursing perpetual access and the outcomes of such attempts. Participants should also be able to use the strategies and other information gleamed from the survey to help them provide perpetual access at their institutions.

Who should attend?

This webinar may be of most interest to electronic resource librarians and serials librarians.

Presenter: Sarah (Sally) Glasser is the Serials/Electronic Resources Librarian and an Assistant Professor of Library Services at the Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library of Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.
