Access to Research A report to the Publishers Licensing Society and the Society of Chief Librarians

"Access to Research (A2R) is an innovative service jointly developed between public libraries and academic publishers. It allows public library users to access licensed (i.e. charged-for) academic journal articles from leading publishers for free, via public-access computers in local public libraries. The pilot stage ends in December 2015 and this study was designed to inform the future development of the initiative."
