Town Hall with the Dean of Libraries

Dean of Libraries Anne-Marie Deitering will host a one-hour town hall on February 27 from 4 to 5 p.m. via Zoom to share information about the actions the library has taken to support OSU researchers access Elsevier content, discuss the data the library has been gathering to inform future negotiations with Elsevier, and answer questions about the negotiations and the scholarly publishing landscape more broadly.

Alternative access to Elsevier content for teaching and research

Library workers have been putting new workflows and resources in place to help OSU easily access Elsevier content after our contract lapses at the end of December 2022.

The most recent information can always be found on this guide: Article Access Alternatives.

  1. For all of the journals on our Subscribed Title List, we purchased ongoing access to all of the content that was a part of our subscriptions. If the article you need is on this list, and was published between 1997 and 2022, you should still have immediate access to it.
  2. We stood up a new Article Delivery service to improve our ability to deliver paywalled Elsevier articles by request. Library users will now be able to choose whether they want to borrow an article via Interlibrary Loan, or purchase the article via Article Delivery.
  3. The Article Delivery service will also make it easier for users to discovery open access versions of articles they want.
