Staff from Cornell University Library will share lessons learned during their first effort to engage the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in the HathiTrust permissions process, successfully working with the College to open over 1700 agricultural publications from limited to full view. Unique not in its goal but in its sheer scale, this first effort - in what will likely become a multi-phase project - instilled a number of lessons and highlighted new opportunities. Presenters will share challenges and solutions, practical tips, and plans for future phases of the project. Attendees can expect to learn about strategies that they may implement at their own institutions, and are encouraged to ask questions, pose ideas, raise concerns, and share experiences for the benefit of others interested in embarking on projects of a similar nature.
