Library Supports BTAA’s Opposition to Moving Wall Policy

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library, a member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, supports the BTAA’s opposition to a Moving Wall Policy implemented by publisher Taylor & Francis. This policy limits content before a specified date (once provided at a courtesy) to subscribers with a supplementary subscription. A letter on behalf of the BTAA membership to Taylor & Francis currently has ten consortial signatories, representing well over 100 institutions.

University Library users experiencing problems accessing content, should report such difficulties to er-tech@illinois.edu. Users may secure materials via Interlibrary Loan & Document Delivery. Please visit www.library.illinois.edu/interlibrary-loan/.

To read the open letter from BTAA to Taylor & Francis, visit www.btaa.org/docs/default-source/library/taylor-and-francis-moving-wall-may-2018.pdf?sfvrsn=a18b4bf3_2. Contact Associate Dean for Collections and Technical Services Tom Teper (tteper@illinois.edu) with any questions regarding access via the University Library.
