For Libraries and Institutions: IP access subscriptions
Berlin Review has been published as an online and print magazine for books and ideas since February 2024. With essays, politcal commentary and reviews of the most important publications from the field of humanities, non-fiction and fiction, mostly published in German and/or English, we aim to enrich the German and international discussion.
We are aimed at readers who are interested in books, academic discourse and cultural topics. We offer libraries and cultural institutions customized annual subscriptions with IP access. An institutional subscription includes access via selected IP addresses and a requested number of print issues. The price for an annual institutional subscription depends on the size of the institution and the number of readers. Many institutions already list us: Academy of Arts, Humboldt University, Goethe University Frankfurt, IWM Vienna, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, …
“An institution has been created for authors of whom we have already read a lot, but perhaps heard even more: locally mobile global intellectuals whose collective presence in Berlin should not be understood as a form of tourism, but a challenge to the local cultural establishment.”
“The Berlin Review makes it possible to create a link between the necessarily terse reviews in daily newspapers and books that generously unfold their themes. It gives space and resonance to topics that previously did not have them.”
“The Berlin Review is so cathartic, and it’s such a milestone. It honors Berlin.”
With an institutional subscription, you support a journalistic initiative that emphasizes the value of literature, humanities and social sciences for a new generation. Your users will have access to our regular online and print editions and a growing archive of longreads that may be useful for journalistic or academic research, teaching and cultural analysis.
FAQ
What is the Berlin Review institutional subscription?
The institutional subscription gives members of your institution access to the contents of the Berlin Review. It is intended for universities, libraries, research institutes, cultural institutions, and other organizations.
What is included in the institutional subscription?
The subscription generally includes access to the current digital issues as well as to the digital archive of the Berlin Review. If desired, up to 5 physical copies of each issue can also be ordered as part of the institutional subscription at no additional cost.
How does access work?
Access is generally set up via your institution’s IP addresses. Users within the authorized network can then access the contents without needing an individual subscription. If your institution configures its VPN access so that usage takes place via the authorized IP ranges, remote access via VPN is also possible.
Is a trial access option available?
On request, a trial access option can be arranged so that you can review the offer in advance.
How much does the institutional subscription cost?
The cost depends on the type and size of the institution, as well as the desired access model. We would be happy to provide you with an individual quote.
What happens to archive access once the subscription ends?
Once the subscription ends, access to Berlin Review content via our servers also ends. PDF files downloaded during the subscription period may be archived locally by the institution for internal purposes and, where appropriate, made available via the institution’s own systems, provided they are made accessible only to the institution’s authorized users.
We are a small institution and are only interested in the print edition. Is that possible?
Yes. If you are only interested in the print edition, we would be happy to make you an individual offer tailored to your institution’s needs.
