“What’s the Big Deal? How Researchers Are Navigating Changes to Journal Access”
Thursday, August 19, 1:00-2:00 PM CDT
The dominant mode by which research libraries have provided maximum journal access as broadly and efficiently as possible – subscription bundles or “Big Deals” – is giving way to new approaches. Ithaka S+R partnered with 11 academic libraries to understand researcher behavior and perceptions to help inform their ongoing strategic decision-making about Big Deal journal subscriptions. The project’s lead researchers, Oya Y. Rieger and Danielle Cooper, will highlight key findings from the study and its potential implications for libraries.
