Maurine, we're struggling with this issue as well. I'm finding that
different vendors define 'site' differently and I'm often explaining
that, while we do have several libraries with different street
addresses, we all are part of the same unit, report to the same
administration, share the same budget, have the same students,
faculty, and staff, and one set of IP ranges as you indicated.  I
understand that there are cases where it would make sense to have
unique licenses for institutions that are affiliated in some ways but
independent in others. In our particular situation, the geography
seems arbitrary to me.  There are instances where I'm questioning the
value of having electronic content that requires seats or multiple
licenses.  It isn't financially sustainable for us, and I'd also like
to hear how others are handling it.

Sarah

I’m curious how other libraries are dealing with ‘authorized sites’ as
different institutions are partnering in new ways.  For example, we
are an academic health sciences library for a university with
educational, research and clinical components, including two hospitals
staffed in part by University faculty.  We have acquired and built new
clinics and in the near future will be partnering with another
hospital system in a joint facility.  All of the new clinics share the
same administrative structure and are part of the University.  All of
the ‘sites’ use the same IP range.  It seems to me as though the
‘authorized sites’ concept is becoming an outmoded way of thinking
about organizations but I am interested to hear what others have to
say and how you handle it with your licenses.

Thank you,

Maurine
