Why MUSE chose INASP PERI
Humanities and Social Science content focus
(Research 4Life: HINARI, AGORA, OARE)
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
IP verification
Enforcement of abuse monitoring
Pricing: Not free, but appropriate.
Teaching me: low bandwidth, budget cycles, etc.
Teaching them: librarians, scholars, budget makers, governments
They will be the bad cop.
