We now offer site licenses to the A-R Music Anthology to institutional subscribers for an annual fee.
Site licenses are authenticated by IP address and easy to set up. When you set up a site license or request a trial, we will ask for your IP information.
Site licenses give libraries immediate access to new features as they are implemented without additional charges for those features. The recent addition of the music history textbook was included in the site licenses, and other features will be available this way.
If you would like to establish a site license or have questions about it, please contact us for more information.

What are the differences between site licenses and course adoptions?

Site licenses make the Anthology available to your entire community: Students, faculty, staff, and patrons benefit from unlimited access to the entire contents of the A-R Music Anthology all the time.
Course adoptions give just the students enrolled in the course access for six months. Students have direct access their courses, and also have access to the rest of the Anthology for assignments and their own exploration of the contents.

If my library has a site license, do students still have to pay for courses?

For schools that have site licenses, the students do not have to pay for courses that instructors at that institution set up.
When instructors set up their courses, please let us know. We will then set up a login and password that will give your students access. It's another benefit of holding a site license.

Isn't the A-R Music Anthology just Recent Researches?

The A-R Music Anthology is not the same as Recent Researches. While about 15 examples from Recent Researches are in the Anthology, the majority of the Anthology's content is different. It's all newly edited and typeset.

I just see the instructor's view. Is this what I get with a site license?

The instructor's view differs from the landing page we offer for site licenses. Please request a trial to view the site-license landing page and evaluate the features of a site license.
