Walking the Usage Tightrope in a Digital World: Publishers and Librarians Explore the Delicate Balancing Act of E-Content Usability
Monday, January 26, 10:00am - 10:30am, Mesa Theater (2)
In recent years librarians have grown increasingly concerned with digital rights management tools used by vendors of licensed scholarly resources such as e-journals and e-books. Although some restrictions are necessary to protect the academic material, how will protection measures affect student and faculty use? This showcase will explore the balancing act concerning use restrictions through discussion between librarians and publishers on soft restrictions, hard restrictions, user views, and database analysis.
We hope to see you in Denver! For more information about IGI Global’s sessions at the conference, or to confirm a meeting time, please e-mail: eresources@igi-global.com.
