Hi all,
I've been digging into Get It Now for a while now and one thing I've
noticed is that the information on their website is vague, general. Even
the case studies are general, which I find a little strange.
Anyway, could anyone who has setup Get It Now provide me with any kind of
technical details - do this, don't do that kind of stuff?
I've been going around and around with their customer support, it seems
like we're talking in circles:
1. What is the Pay Per Use licensing? Is this an actual signed license or a
click-through?
2. What is meant by an Annual License? Is this something that we sign every
year like other things we subscribe to? In what sense is it annual? Why
isn't it just called "License"? I was told we don't pay an annual fee, then
I was told we do pay an annual fee. Or do we sign the license once and it's
good forever? This seem so simple but again it's talking in circles and
vague information.
3. We're looking at mediated service to get things started, and based on
how that goes we would consider going to unmediated. Any advice on this?
4. Any insight into pricing as opposed to regular subscriptions via
journals and databases?
Thanks everyone, have a lovely weekend.
Kind regards,
Jacob
