This session will present the design, implementation, and first-year outcomes of a statewide subsidized article delivery service developed to eliminate paywall barriers and support evidence-based practice. Participants will learn how a customized PubMed interface, strategic partnerships with licensing agencies and professional associations, and grant-funded article fulfillment combined to create a seamless, zero-cost experience for clinicians. The session will review outreach strategies, enrollment growth, article usage data, cost considerations, vendor management, and sustainability planning. Attendees will gain practical insights into building a scalable, replicable model that extends library services beyond institutional boundaries and advances equitable access to clinical information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This session is free and open to all.
