>From Jill’s article, “As with many issues in the 21st century, a
tension exists between the individual's wants and the best practices
for community well-being. To better understand this inherent conflict
between access and security, I asked several Oregon librarians to
answer a series of questions about their electronic resource licensing
practices. This article outlines the current practices these
colleagues employ to reconcile this tension between patron demand and
patron safety and to identify ways for improving the situation
regarding online resource usage.”
