Projects on creating access -

Printed material sent electronically (E-copy 1 +2)

• Project since 2007• Delivery by mail from app 30.000 Danish and foreign journals• Available through library.dk for all endusers in Dk• Agreement and copyright fee paid by The State and University Library • Requests scanned to an archive (reuse) and mailed directly to users• App 150.000 copies sent in 2012• App 298.000 articles in the archive for reuse

12-04-2023 22

We have the ”E”– we use the ”E” – and we need exploring new models for partial access

• Walk-in-use• Pay-per-view • Voucher solutions (eg.10 articles pr year)• ILL – Inter Library Loan • Read – no download/print• ILL access after eg. 3 months• Public access after ?• New ideas?

12-04-2023 23

YES

ILL from e-resources is a kind of contradiction

BUT One usefull tool to explore in creating (partial)

access to e-resources for all library users
