Perma-eHub, everywhere at once

Perpetual LicenseSince eBooks cannot be handled physically, publishers use a licensing system to manage their distribution; when you buy an eBook, you’re actually buying a license to use it. There are two parts to a license: the license itself, and the license’s concurrency. Concurrency is the number of people allowed to read the book at one time. There are two types: Single-User Access, which allows students to access titles one student at a time; and Unlimited-Users Access, which allows an indefinite number of students to view an eBook at the same time.

Subscription License In addition to purchasing standard eBook licenses, you can further bolster your library’s offerings with eBooks available from various publishers on a renewable subscription basis. Subscription licenses are of two types: Term-Based, which are valid for a specific time period; and Count-Based, which are valid for a given number of checkouts. For example, HarperCollins offers limited-ownership licenses, expiring after twenty-six checkouts.
