Frequently Asked Questions about Institutional Subscriptions

1. My institution has an online subscription to A&A but I'm not able to see the full text of articles. I'm prompted for a username and password. Why is this happening?

   When this happens, the IP address for your machine is not being recognized by our computer. This failure is caused by one of three things:

   Your institutional online subscription has not yet been activated, or was activated for one workstation only.

   The person who "activated" the online subscription did not enter in all needed IP addresses for your institution.

   The person who "activated" the online subscription does not realize that some subnets of your institution are routed through a proxy server.

   What should I do?

   1. Send us Feedback so we can begin to diagnose the problem.
   2. Talk to your librarian, and let them know you are having trouble.

2. My library subscribes to the print A&A, and I can't get access to it online. Why?

   Your institution has not purchased an online subscription to A&A. Contact your librarian to order an online subscription. Or, your institution has not yet activated its institutional online subscription to A&A. Notify your library that you would like access to A&A Online, and encourage your librarian to activate the online subscription.

3. Who from my institution can access A&A Online?

   A site license subscription allows any user connecting from an authorized computer on your institutional network access to A&A Online.

4. What is an Institution?

   For the most part, an Institutional Subscription with a site license agreement authorizes use at a localized site. A "site" is an organizational unit, and may be academic or nonacademic. For organizations located in more than one city, each city office is considered a different site. For organizations within the same city that are administered independently, each office is considered a different site.

   For example, each campus in the State University of New York system is considered a different site, and each branch or office of UpJohn Laboratories is considered a different site.

5. How will this work?

   When someone attempts to use A&A Online, our server checks to see if the requesting computer is within the list of internet IP address provided by a subscribing institution. If it is, the reader will be able to use all those services enabled for institutional readers. For institutional subscribers, there are no usernames or passwords to remember, and there is currently no limit on the number of readers from your institution who may access A&A Online simultaneously.

   If readers want to access A&A Online from computers that are not part of your institutional network (e.g., through dial-in or telnet through a commercial Internet service provider) they can do so only through a member subscription or a non-member individual subscription.

6. What subscription packages are available?
