E-Resource Access Check Agent

Databases and e-journals break when platforms move, links change or subscriptions lapse, and patrons are usually the first to notice. Each week this agent tests access to every paid resource through the library's link resolver and proxy. It compares failures with subscription records and lists what is broken and the likely reason. It drafts vendor tickets with the details the vendor needs, which the librarian approves. It tracks each ticket and retests until access works. If a fix stalls, it drafts a follow-up ticket and a notice for patrons. It also flags subscriptions due for renewal 60 days ahead so access does not lapse by accident. Edge case: titles that dropped out of a package are flagged as content changes, not broken links.
