8. Technical solution we chose THE TECHY PARTS: IT dept created programme to generate logins from Issue desk Once logged in Internet browser ‘locked down’ Control access to resources via IP recognition Adopted ‘blocked’ list approach as opposed to ‘safe list’

9. Licensing

10. The Good Full list of 40+ resources online - http://tinyurl.com/b6urawn Quick wins: – JISC / Eduserv model licenses – EBSCO – Proquest - Evidence of standardised language in licenses – understanding of requirements for HEIs

11. The Bad Market Research Publishers Law Publishers - Straight ‘no’, see as detrimental to business? Will they ever change?

12. The Ugly Problems of how to deal with walk-in access for: non-IP authenticated resources? Journal platforms / publishers with different rules for each title? - Further collaboration amongst HEI’s required? Tools like Knowledge Base + could help?

13. What’s next? Promotion: alumni & public libraries Roll out to other 2 campuses Continue to negotiate / query licenses & add resources Investigate: SUMMON search box specific for walk-in? Review technical solution in light of new developments with Shibboleth extensions
