Purchasing options for digital objects
Individuals and/or institutions may license use of a digital object in accordance with one of two licensing arrangements that distinguish the capacity for publication and/or commercial application of the object.
The exception is those materials that are designated ‘Creative Commons’. These objects are released royalty-free for non-commercial use, subject to a particular form of Creative Commons licence.
