Single site license

A single site is a single contiguous geographic region from within which the library’s/Licencsee’s “Authorized Users” and public visitors can access the Licensed Materials over a secure network. A typical single site would have a single billing address for all subscription purchases and all physical locations accessing the licensed materials would be located on the same physical campus.

If the library/Licensee maintains or provides service to users that are outside of one single geographical contiguous location, or multiple departments that operate independently of the parent institution, then the library/Licensee may need to obtain a multi-site or consortium license.

Should your institution require further information on pricing options available, services and other general questions please contact our Sales Team.

Multi-site license

Definition of Authorized Subscriber Sites Authorized subscriber sites under multi-site license agreement can be:

  • Multi-Site Institution (“1” or “2” as defined below)
    1. Non-contiguous sites (a single institution with separate branches or departments that operate independently) and share IP addresses and/or network services with a parent site
    2. Multiple departments that operate independently of the parent institution, but may be located in the same building or on the same campus, and share IP addresses and/or network services with a parent site
  • Consortia (“1” or “2” as defined below)
