InteLex can provide campus-wide access to any combination or all of its Past Masters
databases via its web server. Click

If a school desires campus-wide access and it does not have a full-text delivery system
this can be a cost effective alternative or interim measure until such a system can be
implemented locally.
All that is required are the Campus-wide site licenses
to the desired databases and standard web browsers for the users. An Internet Protocol
(IP) range is used to limit access to the campus in order to eliminate the need for a user
name and password. An archive CD of the text of each licensed title is
provided at no additional charge.
There is an annual web server access fee which varies
according to the number of titles purchased and FTE. We have considered and continue to weigh
alternative means of projecting server usage but we believe that there is a reasonable
correlation and in the interest of simplicity we have elected to use this metric. “The Bottom Line: Past Masters is an essential online resource for its target audience, upper-level undergraduates and scholarly researchers. Not only does it make key philosophical works accessible on users' desktops 24/7, but it also provides in-text citations and searchable text. In addition, a la carte database customization makes it financially accessible not only to large universities and research libraries but also to smaller academic institutions and medium to large public libraries, for which it is recommended
highly."
