3. Do we have a license for
ScienceDirect? How do I find out?
What method for authentication
should I use - OpenAthens?
Shibboleth? Proxy? VPN?
Issues and questions
4. Issues and questions
How do I figure out which
method to use to get access?
Is trying to log in even going to
be useful? My library might not
even have a license..
5. Issues and questions
How am I supposed to know
that this exact same article is
available, via the library, on a
different platform?
How am I supposed to figure
out that’s even *possible*?
Shall I simply … pay?

8. “It improves my search for
articles a thousand times.
You have taken away a most
hated hurdle in my life.”
17. • Very small teams in very large and fragmented organisations
• Typical user is time poor and inexpert at searching for and accessing quality
healthcare content
• Reaching new users and communicating with existing users is extremely
difficult
• Much nationally procured content only available through approved routes eg
hdas.nice.org.uk
Universal Challenges in Health Libraries
18. • Size of team
• Lack of expertise
• Communication
• Approved routes
• Enables us to reach users at the point of need
• Streamlined access saves user time and
removes barriers to content
• Allows the library service to communicate with
existing users and promote the service to
potential users
• Redirects user to correct version of paper –
reducing need for approved routes
How Lean Library Helps Us
19. • Initial KBART export of journal holdings (process now automated
through Ebsco LinkIQ)
• Seamless integration with OpenAthens
• Excellent customer support and Service Desk
