EAL Benefits Article Select: Access to non-subscribed journals Unlimited and simultaneous access Better pricing for other electronic products Usage Statistics Price Increase Caps Cancellation of all or any print A personal Account Manager

Benefits of a Consortium license Access to more journals through Cross Access Better pricing conditions Ideally, negotiations are harmonised through single administrator or assigned administrators User training can be better better organised

OK, what do I do next?
