Dear colleagues,
At Oxford we have tried to get institutional access to the advanced functions of the Diccionario Biográfico Electrónico.
http://dbe.rah.es/
Unfortunately we've been told that they don't provide this, and that only a single user licence can be provided. The password etc cannot be shared, so we can't even run it on a single library PC with the password in a protected area. So effectively, no institutional access is available.
Is this problematic for other libraries?
I know that the main content is freely available, but you have to subscribe in order to be able to use the advanced search and other contextual linking functions that would be very useful for researchers.
If you're also concerned about this, please could you get in touch with me? I wonder if a joint letter to the RAH would prompt any changes.
Best wishes,
Joanne
