    Facilitating Access to Free Online Resources: Challenges and Opportunities for the Library Community

    Facilitating access to free online resources: challenges and opportunities for the library community A white paper from Taylor & Francis May 2013 Introduction The volume of freely available online resources continues to grow exponentially. Potentially, many of these resources could be of enormous value for teaching, learning and research purposes. However, finding, evaluating and facilitating access to this content brings with it many challenges, for both librarians and their user communities. Taylor & Francis have conducted a research programme to help explore the issues relating to free content discoverability from the perspective of librarians. We wanted to understand what role librarians see free content having within their institutions; its relative importance compared to paid-for resources; and the challenges associated with making better use of this material. This paper presents the results of this research programme. We hope that by exposing some of the challenges we can stimulate discussion on this important topic and help make it easier for institutions to enrich their paid-for collections with high-quality free content. “This survey is a good starting conversation.” - Subject Librarian, (USA) commenting on the T&F Survey: Facilitating Access to Free Online Resources, distributed April 2013 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Research methodology Our librarian research programme comprised two focus groups, one held in London (UK) in late 2012 and one in Seattle, Washington (USA)
