Why are some of the resources subject to licensing restrictions?
The resources available in the Virtual Library are (with the exception of the free e journals list) subscription services for which the Library pays a premium rate. Many publishers prefer to restrict access to a particular site or range of IP addresses. Where possible we negotiate with publishers and suppliers to make remote access available, so that all IET members can make use of this member benefit, and when new resources are selected the possibility of remote access is a key factor.
