Local copyright permissions
Over the years we've negotiated permissions with some publishers. Our local permissions can differ to information in Sherpa.
We'd like a way to upload these permissions into Esploro so that we could interrogate it in a similar way to how we can through Sherpa in the form.

An update: Ex Libris suggested using the Asset Licences section to store local copyright permissions. While we can do this and have been advised that there is no limit to the number of licences we can add, the copyright statement does not print out on the PDF coverpage. Therefore this is not a solution to storing local copyright permissions.

During our migration to Esploro this topic was raised, and we were advised that there would be functionality to allow a local lookup that sat next to, or instead of, the Sherpa/Romeo lookup. Having said this, now that I've used the Sherpa lookup I wouldn't want to replace it with a local lookup. Using the licence feature is an interesting option and one that I will investigate further, although we have received hundreds of local permissions and I don't want to make the licences too cumbersome to use.

HI, It is not clear to me from the request where the publisher specific permissions would be stored. There is not a Publisher entity and most Resource types do not have a link to a publisher so I'm not sure that is the best option. One thought would be to store them as Licenses. Customers can enter their own Licenses and in addition to a license code and name there is a license description that can store the copyright terms. Research Output, files and links all have a field for License. If this is not what you had in mind, please provide more details about where you want access to this data and how you want to "interrogate" Esploro for this information.
Thanks
