Benefits of Article Select Tokens:
- Instant access to broad range of full-text material that your institution does not currently subscribe to
- Control and monitor token usage at a level that suits your requirements
- Save costs through auto-subscription
- Unlimited concurrent user access for 24 hours
- Token usage included in monthly statistics reports
Authentication Options
You need to choose your authentication option at the start of a license or when you purchase tokens the first time.
When the authorized user opens the full-text of an article in an electronic journal or online book not covered by your institution's license, you can choose what the user will see.
- Immediate access to the content; or
- A confirmation screen with the information that your institution is making this article available through Wiley Online Library Article Select which provides access to Wiley's Electronic Journals and Book chapters not subscribed to by the institute.
Option 1
Immediate Access
This is the least restrictive control option.
Option 2
Any Authorized User from your institution must confirm they want to use the token, in order to spend/use the Tokens in the Licensee’s account. A confirmation message will appear on the page. The user will then have the option to download an article using a token. They can do so, by clicking “Confirm.”
Option 3
You can choose a small group of authorized users to be SuperUsers (i.e. selected library colleagues or departments within your organization). They will become the only authorized users who can spend Article Select Tokens. All other users must request access by getting in contact with a SuperUser.
Only SuperUsers on this list can activate an Article Select Token for a non-subscribed article. Each individual you add to the list must have a User ID and Password for Wiley Online Library. Once a Token has been spent/used all Authorized Users at your institution will have access to the article.When a SuperUser requests the full text of an article from a non-subscribed journal, a message will appear, prompting users to sign in.
If you have chosen this policy, administrators may add or remove Super Users at any time. Just click the Permissions tab and follow the instructions in the Article Select Tokens section of the WOL administrator dashboard.
This is the most restrictive control option - and the option that allows the librarian the most control over how tokens are spent.
Usage,--regardless of access policy--will be reported by Journal/Book and Article/Chapter on an institutional level. These reports can be requested on-demand in the WOL administrator dashboard.
