Paper to PDF: Making License Agreements Accessible through the OPAC

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In search of a cohesive tool for managing license agreements, the University of Florida Libraries has devised an in-house project. This article tracks development of the project from its theoretical inception, which began in 1997. The project was intended to be an all-encompassing database that allowed tracking of license agreements from the time they were received in the Serials Acquisitions Unit to their final signature. The discussion follows the progress of the database development and details the current Portable Document Format (PDF) project in
place, which uses scanned license agreements linked to the OPAC (online public access catalog) title record for ease of access and tracking by libraries staff.
