HighWire Press, Inc., the strategic partner and platform provider for world-leading scholarly publishers and societies, has announced the platform-wide rollout of Campus-Activated Subscriber Access (CASA) on its Intelligent Platform, in cooperation with Google Scholar. CASA enables seamless off-campus and mobile access to subscribed scholarly content. With CASA, off-campus and mobile users may access their library's subscriptions just as easily as when they are on campus.
A faster, easier user experience to subscription content from publishers will help libraries serve their patrons and will provide researchers with legitimate access to authorised versions, without using Sci-Hub as a work around to off-campus barriers. CASA access is correctly attributed to the subscribing institution, so that COUNTER reporting reflects these new usage opportunities.
HighWire will introduce CASA at Charleston and the STM London Innovation meetings later this year. CASA supports industry-wide initiatives to improve access to resources while maintaining requirements of licensing agreements and copyright laws.
