The Medical Library Association’s (MLA) Technical Services and Collection Development Caucuses invite you to attend a joint forum on remote access at health sciences libraries. Join us on Thursday, February 27, at 1:00 PM CDT, here.
This informal session will start with a brief presentation from Megan Inman, Collection Development Librarian at the Laupus Health Sciences Library at East Carolina University (ECU). She will describe the experiences she had in migrating ECU Libraries from a proxy server (EZ Proxy) to the Open Athens authentication system. Inman will also discuss what initiated the change, the benefits and challenges that resulted, and the takeaways she drew from it. Following her presentation, there will be time for Q&A and discussion on remote access.
Non-MLA members are welcome to attend and participate. The session will not be recorded to encourage open discussion.
