Exact Editions announces the availability of institutional
licenses for some of the publications distributed through
the
Exact Editions platform.
The magazines are offered, with free trial issues which may
be
used for evaluation, from the 'Institutional Shop' on the
Exact
Editions web site. Alternatively link straight to:

The Exact Editions platform leaves the publisher with the
responsibility of setting the price for each magazine (for
individual and for institutional subs). If you click on the
'Subscribe' labels beneath each front cover you will see the
prices that each publisher has chosen. These publishers have
tended to set their institutional prices in the range of 3X
to
10X the individual subscription. Both types of license are
priced
at rather modest levels in comparison to commercial academic
periodicals.
There are a number of services which aggregate the content
of
consumer magazines. We believe the Exact Editions platform
may be
the first to provide library access to a range of magazines
which
are exact digital replicas of the original publications.
In the last six months there has been considerable interest
from
educational institutions in several of the magazines, for
which
we have hitherto only been able to offer individual subs.
The
institutional licenses are for campus networks, tied to IP
addresses.
