Title

Licence

Select the appropriate licence for the desired market.

Lifespan of a copy

The lifespan of the copies of a publication is determined by the licence expiry date. It can be calculated in two ways; by the number of loans or by the number of days. It is possible to combine these two values.

Number of loans

This is the number of loans allowed by the licence on a given publication.

Number of days

Validity period, in days, between the acquisition date and the date at which the copies are invalidated by the platform.

Preventing loans from expiring at a later than the licence

Check this box to have the platform automatically adjust the duration of the last loan. Its expiry date will become the same as the licence expiry date.

Loan rights

Simultaneous loans

The number of simultaneous loans allowed by the licence, i.e. the number of copies that can be loaned at the same time.

Loan duration

The number of days before the due date of a loan.

Online viewing rights

Simultaneous viewings

The number of simultaneous viewings of the publication that can be made online.

Product pricing

The publisher provides its commercial terms for libraries to its account manager, who then sets up the offer accordingly.

The choice of each of the following options is up to the publisher who created the library offer, after consultation with the account manager:

  • general public prices or prices with library/school restrictions;
  • permanent prices;
  • Multiplier coefficient;
  • minimum order quantity.


Example: in Biblius, the multiplier coefficient varies from one publisher to another. It may be 3, 5, etc.
