Introduction
SP tracks and manages intellectual property rights and restrictions on preserved content in two contexts:
- spreadsheet + preservation metadata
- Members of SP's Designated Community will only have access to those resources which they have licensed, either through OCUL, CRKN, or institutionally. This access also includes any open access resources loaded into Scholars Portal. This access is enforced through the use of an entitlements module within the SP system, which tracks what materials are to be made available through the end-user interface. Please see the Access Policy.
