FAQs

How can my library acquire access to the online
versions of ASABE Publications?

Institutions, organizations and companies can purchase access to the ASABE online Technical Library. An annual fee provides access to the complete online collection of journals, books, standards and meeting papers—currently over 60,000 pages. Electronic access to individual publications is not available. A site license agreement provides access to all authorized users as defined by the license agreement.

The fee level varies depending on size of the user base and more specifically, the number interested in the technology we cover in our collection as well as the number of geographic locations included.

If a customer were to purchase one set of all of the print materials added to the site each year they would spend approximately $3,000. We assume access would be restricted to faculty/students or employees at the single physical location represented by the address provided for the organization or institution. If other locations or entities would have access, please provide the name and address of each campus or other locations.

Access to the site is not related to print subscriptions. A print subscription does not include access to the electronic files. Nor is a print subscription a requirement for accessing the electronic collection. Those signing a license agreement who desire both print and electronic qualify for significant discounts on the print versions (60%-70% range).

Connection by IP address is available.

The site license provides access to all of the material on the site including all ASABE technical publications published since 2001 and back issues of journals from 1998 through 2000. To view a complete list of the publications included go to http://asae.frymulti.com and click on the Table of Contents button. Anyone can access the free abstracts. Access to the full-text requires a password or IP connection.
