Leganto Release Notes January 2018

The Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) is a U.S. company that provides collective copyright licensing services for users of copyrighted materials. When CCC integration is enabled, librarians can provide pay-per-use (PPU) access from Leganto to CCC licensed materials; this is typically less expensive than purchasing unrestricted electronic access to the material.

Ex Libris supports both funded and non-funded licenses for each citation. For funded licenses, the first access by a student to a licensed material is considered a pay-per-use transaction. Ex Libris maintains a list of all transactions and bills the institution on a monthly basis, passing the fee collected to the CCC. For non-funded licenses, the student can select to pay for access to the citation, directly in Leganto. Ex Libris also tracks these transactions.

Features:

• CCC licenses are available to students in Leganto for uploaded materials. Note that CCC does not provide access to materials; you must already have the materials and be able to upload them (typically as PDF documents) to Alma/Leganto as citations.
• Librarians can select from a list of matching CCC licenses based on a title or ID search.
• For licenses restricted to a limited number of transactions, Leganto removes the access link to the material after this number is reached.
• CCC licenses automatically expire a month after a course becomes inactive, or after six months from the day the license was obtained, whichever comes first.
• In Alma, librarians can view transactions by item or by course. In Leganto, instructors can view the price of each item, as well as the total cost of materials in a reading list and the total amount spent as a result of student access in real time. For funded licenses, students do not see the material cost (or pay for the materials).
• For non-funded licenses, students can add items to a shopping cart. At any time, students can pay for all licenses in the cart using their Paypal account, after which the materials are available to them.
• Ex Libris bills the institution each month for total access to all funded materials for all courses. The bill is sent as an invoice and enters into Alma invoice processing.
• When rolling over courses, licenses for materials are rolled over but set to inactive. You can run a job to activate all of these licenses.
