The impact of TPM on research and teaching: the story of the society for automotive engineers digital library
Pages 223 - 230
Abstract
This paper describes the results of a study of the impacts of technological protection measures (TPM) and onerous pricing models on research and teaching in the field of mechanical engineering. The paper describes a case study of the 2006/2007 implementation, and ultimate removal, of a TPM and token pricing model on the Society for Automotive Engineers Digital Library product marketed to academic libraries in the United States. Data include interviews with engineering faculty, students and librarians. The paper identifies both direct effects of the TPM restrictions on sharing and printing and indirect effects of lack of convenient access to the digital library.
