Designing for Access: The Importance of Removing Barriers to Open Resources
It’s a watershed moment for open access (OA) content: there are more OA resources than ever . . . but there are also more barriers to access. How can your library break through increasing obstacles, from paywalls to struggles with authentication, and tap into more than 65 million high-quality academic resources, no login required?
Join us for this free, 30-minute webinar where we:
- Discover how removing barriers to access for quality, peer-reviewed OA can benefit your patrons and community
- Investigate Google Scholar and publisher sites and learn why they might not be the best tools for discovery
- Explore a better way to provide one-click, full-text OA and OER access with CloudSourceOA
We’ll navigate the rapidly evolving open access landscape, dive into common discovery pitfalls, and equip you with fresh strategies for equalizing access and enhancing the user experience—no matter who or where you are.
