FOR LIBRARIES

Digitalia is designed to be a useful tool for Libraries and all their users, in order to access new content of high quality in Spanish Language. Libraries can access Digitalia in two ways: purchasing the content they want, or suscribing yearly the full text content of our database. Here are some points that can help you to better understand our access policies.


1. What is permanent access?

Digitalia database is available together as a complete collection, but are also segmented into parts that are available separately, thus allowing customers to tailor the content to their particular needs. The permanent access model allows the organization access in perpetuity to the databases for which permanent access has been purchased.


2. What about a license agreement?

The license agreement was developed by a team of librarians and has been designed to address the needs of academic and public libraries, research institutions, K-12 schools, historical societies, or any organization.

Upon completion of a welcome letter confirming the order, contact information and IP information, you will obtain access within 24 hours during Monday-Friday.

 
5. Can our library gain access to usage records for the database?
Absolutely! Digitalia is keenly aware of the increasing need for institutions to measure the value return of their purchased online content. We provide usage statistics to better understand what use of Digitalia is being made at your institution. Our system is designed to be both generalized and extensible, meaning it can be used to retrieve a variety of usage reports
