Trialling Mobile and Article Rental Access Options for Journal Content Grace Baynes Nature Publishing Group NASIG, June 2011
Overview • Why experiment with new access options? • DeepDyve • Mobile: iPhone, iPad… • Other experimental developments • Licensed pay-per-view • Interactive textbooks
Why experiment? • Over 4000 institutions have access to Nature via site license • BUT • Mobile adoption • Calls for low-cost, quick view • Company culture
Why so low? • Users already have access? • Not many people using DeepDyve? • Small number of journals • Archival content only to 2008 • Delay in content going live on DeepDyve • Position of link on nature.com
