Study invitation: Techniques for tracking perpetual access

In 2013, I conducted a survey to determine whether librarians were tracking perpetual access entitlements. I presented the findings at NASIG 2013 and MSU LEETS: http://www.siue.edu/~cbulock/poster.html. The short story is that many are not tracking perpetual access, and would like some better techniques for doing so.

I will be presenting at the 2014 NASIG conference to provide some specific techniques and best practices for this.

If you are involved with managing electronic resources at an academic library and you have an innovative, elegant, or even just a functional method for tracking perpetual access, please contact me. I’ll have a few brief questions for you by email. By default, I will strip responses of identifying information and present them anonymously, but I’m happy to credit you for your statements if you’d like.

If you’re interested in participating, or you’d just like more information, please contact me.
