dltj-org-1250		Publishers going-it-alone (for now?) with GetFTR | Disruptive Library Technology Jester			.html	text/html	1373	94	64	I read about this first in Roger Schonfeld's "Publishers Announce a Major New Service to Plug Leakage" piece in The Scholarly Kitchen via Jeff Pooley's Twitter thread and blog post. Librarians will just be expected to put this web service widget into their discovery services to get "colored buttons indicating that the link will take [patrons] to the version of record, an alternative pathway, or (presumably in rare cases) no access at all." Librarians will not get to decide the "alternative pathway" that is appropriate for the patron: "Some publishers might choose to provide access to a preprint or a read-only version, perhaps in some cases on some kind of metered basis." If publishers want to engage in technical work to enable libraries and others to build web services that determine the direct link to an article based on a DOI, then great. Did persnickety librarians demand transparent discussions and decisions about privacy-related concerns like what attributes the publisher would get about the patron in the Shibboleth-powered backchannel?	./cache/dltj-org-1250.html	./txt/dltj-org-1250.txt
