Recording

• Q: Is the branding by library or by the consortium?
• A: You can get individual library branding, or branding for the consortium.  It is fully customizable.
• Q: What was the message about 22 hour and 58 minutes of complimentary access when you logged on?
• A: When a library gets setup, they can provide access to their patrons to connect to Wi-Fi.  If patrons do not have a card for your library, they can be gifted access to the publication.  The access will only last for about 24 hours, or whatever access the library sets. If you have a library card, a patron can access the publications from anywhere in the world.
• Q: Why do you need a Wi-Fi hotspot?
• A: If you buy PressReader as a consortium, it would be based on population served.  Each library would have a different population served.  The library would have their own specific IP range. 
• Q: If we purchase PressReader, do we get ALL titles with the subscription?
• A: Yes, you get all the titles.
• Q: Do you allow libraries to use a proxy server for access?
• A: Yes, they allow libraries to use a proxy server.
• Q: Do you offer an API to feature titles in our catalog?
• A: Yes, they offer a customized API.
