Dear E-library

If I can ask whether an e-resource trial can be set up for  KotobArabia for the Exeter E-library please.

I’d like the trialling to be university–wide so other user feedback can be garnered as well.

The executive/representative is Jeff Strandberg  [log in to unmask]

Dear Jeff,

We had our MELCOM meeting on Monday 16 June.

Please would you be able to set up a trial for 2 of our members who have offered to spend some time checking out certain queries of other members.

Other queries if you could kindly answer:

n Are all the books cleared in terms of copyright; what guarantee would we have that the books we have access to are not in breach of copyright

n Are there any hidden costs

n Would access to usage statistics be available

n Could we see a full draft license

Many thanks and best wishes,

Dinah
