Subscription Management

The Objective

  • When a subscription expires, the publisher generally blocks access, so that users receive confusing error messages when they try to access their accustomed e-resources. Instead of external error messages, library users should be shown informational pages created by the library itself.
  • Furthermore, the subscription periods of all e-resources should be presented to administrators in a clearly understandable form.

HAN provides the solution:

Administration of e-resources and your subscription periods: Each e-resource is managed together with its properties, such as subscription period, ISSN, ZDB number, EZB ID, publisher, description, authentication information for the account with the provider, and more. If the subscription period has expired, HAN automatically blocks access to the e-resource, and shows the user a specified HTML page. This page can completely designed in the library's or information provider's layout, and can include any content desired. HAN also automatically generates a catalog of all the e-resources it manages, and offers a number of sorting and filtering criteria using the properties mentioned above. These can be used to arrange large numbers of e-resources in a clear order, or to draw attention to individual details.
