Library user experience report: Removing barriers in the search for knowledge<\/h1>\n\t

We’re happy to announce the release of our new library user experience report! We worked with consultancy firm Digirati to talk in depth to academic library users across the globe about access to digital content. In this report we review the common challenges that users and researchers face and how they could be resolved.<\/p>\n

Our report will\u00a0be of interest to librarians, publishers and service providers, network operators, governments and anyone working in the area of remote access to digital content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\tRead the library user experience report\n\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
