What is a Digital Publication?
In general the price for the use of the ebook within the network of a library is the same as for the printed version. If you want to buy more than 10 eBooks/licences please contact.
1. In any case access has to be restricted to your library or local area network or via the IP range of your library or institution.
2. It is not allowed to share the file with other libraries not mentioned in the licence agreement. In this case please contact for a group licence.
3. Duplicating the ebooks is allowed only for backups. The file has to be protected against unallowed copying and sending to other terminals/personal computers outside the network. This means sending via email, copying on removable storage medias like a CD, DVD, or any other disk or memorystick.
4. Access from more than one user is allowed.
5. If you want to share your digital publications with other libraries or if you are part of a cooperation a group licence is needed. The price depends on the number of libraries or institutions.
6. If it will be necessary to convert the file into a different digital format the user is allowed to do so while preserving the character of the eBook as a work which means not to decompile it, e.g. divide it into pieces.
