Pay Per View Of Electronic Scholarly Articles: Benefits And Drawbacks For Academic Libraries In Nigeria: Chikezie, Alex N
Abstract
This
opinion paperlooks at the level ofarticle acquisition ofelectronic resources,
which is referred to as the Pay per view model (PPV) ofelectronic resources
acquisitions. It highlights the different electronic resources acquisition
models, the providers and the platforms ofthe PPI model. It further discusses
the experiences ofsome academic libraries in other climes that have implemented
PPP, the modes oftransactions ofthe PPVand the benefits and drawbacks inherent
in the model. It concludes that due to the high cost ofsubscriptions to
scholarly databases and other electronic resources, academic libraries in
Nigeria are not able to subscribe tofee basedscholarly databases for many ofthe
programmes in their institutions, and therefore unable to acquire many
electronic resources to meet the needs of their clients. Electronic articles
are now mostly required by researchers more than the journals containing these
articles. Therefore, specific, relevant article acquisition, based on need, is
the way to gofor academic libraries who wish to provide seamless access to
electronic resources to their clients. And in conclusion, the discourse
encourages academic libraries inNigeria to adopt the PPVasa supplement to their
existing electronic resources acquisition models.
