Taylor & Francis invite you to share your views on the library's role
in facilitating access to freely available content

Taylor & Francis would like to invite all librarians to participate in
their online survey. Among the many challenges librarians face today
is the question of how to help users understand the value of the
increasing quantity of free content that is available to read,
including open access journals, repositories, blogs and wikis. Without
measures such as usage statistics or Impact Factors, which factors
influence decisions about the value and relevance of free online
content? What is the library’s ongoing role in helping users discover,
evaluate and use it?

Taylor & Francis is investigating how librarians facilitate access to
free online content and the associated challenges that they face when
doing so. We invite you to participate in an online survey, from which
Taylor and Francis will develop a White Paper to help share
experiences and practices related to non-purchased content. All
entrants will be included in a prize draw to win a Kindle Fire. Terms
and Conditions apply
(http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/pdf/tandc/Kindle-May2013.pdf). You
can find the survey here:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Free-online-content

The white paper will be made available on the Taylor & Francis website
later this year and key findings will be presented at NASIG 2013.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences and helping to shape
recommendations for future best practice.
