Journal Passwords - an exception

You may remember that we used to have a long sheet of journal passwords in the reference binder. This was problematic in terms of maintenance and licensing since access to many titles was not intended for campus-wide users. It has led to a general collection development policy to avoid providing online access to sources that cannot be accessed through IP authentication. Recently an exception was made at the request of a faculty member to set up access using username/password for Forum journal : the journal of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The publisher gave permission for the password to be shared. The password is listed on a sheet behind the blue database passwords sheet in the Reference Binder. It can be given to those who ask for it. Since it is linked to a library subscription it is intended for use by MTSU students, faculty and staff, and walk-ins. The journal is also listed in Journal Locator.
