Site licences • The alternative to authority-wide licences for library authorities is single site licences • These cost £299 (+VAT) per site • Unlike authority-wide licences, site licences do not include remote access (just access in the library itself)
Access to www.cans.org.uk • Access to the site in the library is by IP address • Access to the site at home is by library card number (the library authority will have our logo on their site, someone at home clicks on our logo and a screen comes up asking them to select their library authority from a drop down list, then they have to put in their library card number and click “login”…from the library, they just click on the logo and they’re in: no need to sign in at all • User statistics are captured by us and provided to the client automatically on a monthly basis
Customer services • Customer support is provided by three editors, 9-5, five days a week • Queries about content as well as access are welcomed by telephone or email • Please encourage library staff to contact us if they can’t find what they are looking for • We cannot give advice but we can tell you what the law says about a particular legal problem
