- For
- Public-library patrons encountering paywalled news
- Worth noticing
- It says it does not store licensed articles; authentication and access remain with official library and vendor systems.
Field notes
The proposed flow starts with publication and article details, including when a paywall limits the page, then seeks a library’s preferred resource and supported authentication route. The page says a delayed or unavailable match should produce an explanation rather than a dead end. It also makes clear that coverage depends on library licenses and provider support, so the actual route may vary.
