Re: [ALCTS-acqnet] Access to licensed content for external reviewers?

Just a thought - might you talk to Kanopy about this situation and ask for a special very limited length trial account only available to the reviewers during the review period?

It seems like these issues might be surmountable, but it might take a fair amount of work.  If you’re talking about a limited number of resources, I wonder if it might be easier to work with the vendors.  I’m guessing that they wouldn’t be concerned about the minimal additional access (free advertising to someone in the field at another institution!), and might be able to work with you to provide one-off IDs and passwords or a similar solution.  With an ID and password, they might even be able to turn off PDA for that account.

Hi Everyone,



Please excuse cross-posting as we are trying to hear from many about this question.  Here goes….



Many of our faculty are working with our campus faculty resource center on Quality Matters certification for their online courses.  Faculty can choose whether they would like their course internally or externally reviewed.



For courses externally reviewed, we have been asked to provide full access to all embedded content in the courses for external reviewers.  In particular, they asked for access to Kanopy so that they could review how the streaming media worked within the course etc…



I found this request to be a bit troubling on several levels:



1.       These individuals may not be covered as valid “users” within license agreements

2.       Kanopy is a PDA model and providing access could mean that external reviewers are triggering purchase/license of a film

3.       Providing access through EZProxy to one resource would provide access to all resources



So, my questions:



1.       Has anyone ever been asked to provide this type of access for external reviewers?

2.       If yes, how did you provide access.

3.       What are your thoughts in general about this type of request?



Thanks so very much for any insight anyone can provide.



Best,
Katie
