Library License Best Practices

The Shapiro Library's collections are available at no additional cost to students, faculty and staff at SNHU. These collections are available under the terms of a variety of different license types and access models. Access models and license types do not affect the experience of individual researchers, but are very important when resources are used in the LMS for many students to access the same content. Please read the following FAQs to better understand library licenses and access models.

• What do I need to know about the licensing and access models?
• What content do I need to have checked using the Check Library License Type form?
