We haven't done anything systematically, but when we recognize that a
title requires free registration, we will indicate it in a public note
for the journal in Serials Solutions.

Hello, everyone.  Our patrons like to use the Highwire Press Database
and the Highwire Press Free Journals for their research.  We have the
Highwire Press Free Journals set up in our Serials Solutions A to Z List

and 360 Linker.  The main problem with this is that when patrons click
on the url to go to an article, it isn't always free.  Some say it is
free with a registration or something.  Does each individual title
require a registration.  How do you all handle this problem?

Thank you.

Sincerely,
