Digital publishing solutions provider Texterity, Inc., US, has announced a new site licence programme for its magazine partners. The programme enables site licences for public libraries, corporations and other organisations wishing to offer publications in digital format to a larger audience. It provides several methods for authenticating users. Full tracking and reporting of usage is provided, as well as contract templates to assist customers in creating their licence agreements.
End users can access all content without any plug-ins or downloads of any kind. Only a standard web browser is required, which decreases customer service issues and enables use of the content on virtually any computer with internet access.
The initiative is projected to make it easy for magazine publishers to offer their content in a number of ways beyond standard individually requested paid or controlled subscriptions. Texterity is claimed to be the only digital edition provider to make all of these methods available to publishers, in addition to allowing full control over printing or downloading of content. The system fully supports Texterity's 'Subscriber Management System' and 'Look Inside the Magazine' features.
Pricing is based on a per-site fee and can be applied to any Texterity digital edition publication. Existing customers should contact their Texterity representative for more information and a pricing schedule.
