Digital libraries, while comparatively newer, suffer from the legacy of these structural inequities and the same lopsided demographics. We need to take a step back and examine these legacies so that this avenue of library work has a chance to become more equitable.

Evaluating Publisher Open Access Agreements, Allison Langham-Putrow
Digital Initiatives Symposium
Librarians are highly experienced in analyzing subscription renewal offers. However, more often libraries are receiving offers from publishers for agreements that incorporate fees for "read" access (i.e., traditional subscription access) with open access "publish" payments.

These will be applied to scenarios from different types of publishers. If time, there will be a hands-on portion in which participants will learn how to access usage data beyond COUNTER reports. This will include accessing APIs …
