Telos -- Libraries

Beginning in Spring 2008, TELOS will be available to institutions in both printed and online formats. We recognize that this is particularly important to institutional subscribers, for whom electronic access to journals has become essential. Through our new partnership with HighWire Press, subscribers will soon be able to receive convenient online access to a world-renowned journal.

Effective January 1, 2008, the full-text version of TELOS will no longer be offered through any aggregated journal database produced by EBSCO Publishing or Thomson Gale. Although we appreciate the exposure that these services have provided TELOS, the royalties earned do not offset the cancellations of library print subscriptions.

1. Your subscription for 2008 is a perpetual access purchase.

2. You can continue to subscribe through your preferred subscription agent. We work with EBSCO, Harrassowitz, Swets, and many others.

3. With a current subscription, your institution will also receive complimentary access to our ten-year backfile. (Our goal is to expand our backfile from the beginning, 1968, and offer a perpetual access purchase.)

4. We offer a number of library-friendly access policies:

a. simultaneous, multi-user access

b. adoption of the SERU “shared electronic resource understanding” in lieu of license

c. perpetual access through LOCKSS

5. In partnering with HighWire Press, you can rely on continually updated technology and full compliance with standards, such as COUNTER2.

Our pricing is very affordable. Click here for a full list of our institutional subscription rates.
