Can an agent library subscribe online for one of its clients?

What researches can be done?

The author search displays the authors of parts of the work or articles. The full-text research identifies one or more words in the text. The research option button allows for more specific research and for the choice of the number of results to be displayed on the page (by default they are eight for each page). 

What uses are allowed and what DRM policies are applied? 
The user can print and display – for personal, educational and research purposes - a reasonable number of articles in single copy of each subscribed magazine (not the full magazine). For those resources that are not included in the licence, the user should purchase them – as a private user - to be able to display the full text of the requested article. 

What is forbidden? 
Recurrent downloading and printing of articles is not allowed. The sending of articles to third subjects is not allowed by any means (fax and e-mail included), as well as the general disclosure and spreading to the public (not belonging to the authorised institution), for free and upon request (libraries exchange services included). Citing and quoting are allowed, but altering or creating derivative works is forbidden.   

Is it possible to access more than one static IP? 
All licences include the activation of one static IP. In case of possession of more IPs (or consecutive static IPs ranges), it is possible to ask for more activations for each licence. In this case, during the first activation (or in case of following variations) a non-recurring contribution of €5, for activation costs, is asked for each IP (or consecutive static IPS ranges). For further information: riviste@francoangeli.it.

Are multi-location licences available?  
Yes, in addition to the basic licence (with access limited to authorised users, in one physical location circumscribed to adjoining rooms) an extension to more locations can be asked with different options (according to the number of locations and their position in the same or in a different municipality). 

What about universities? 
For universities, licences differentiated according to users are available. In these cases, it is also possible to extend the licence acquiring the faculty to guarantee: 1) remote access to authorized users by proxy server; 2) allow the copy of contents (partially and for personal usage) to authorized users. All licences guarantee perpetual access (to subscribed contents) to the subscriber thanks to the subscription to CLOCKSS and Portico. For conditions, fees and discounts, please consult the agreement terms and conditions (University pack). For further information, please contact:  riviste@francoangeli.it; torrossa@casalini.it.
