Q&A
How will Ex Libris make accessible the new COVID-19 content resources published by providers?
First and foremost, we are reaching out proactively to our Content Providers to inquire about their offerings during this time. We are already working with several providers to ingest new collections and to address collections that are being made freely available.
In the meantime, we have published a list of content that is currently freely available and of COVID-19 resources, as well as resources being made available on Ex Libris products:
How will Ex Libris handle content that providers have made temporarily freely available during this time?
As in the above question, we have published a list of content that is currently freely available and of COVID-19 resources, as well as resources being made available on Ex Libris products:
See shared article for Alma, SFX, 360KB, Primo (CDI/PCI) and Summon
For temporarily free content in Alma - see How to activate an electronic collection for a limited time period
These resources can be activated using the "Active Until" field in the electronic resource service together with a public note. These fields can then later be used to retrieve the resource and delete it.
