MKSAP
See what this library in the US says 

“Starting with MKSAP 19, The American College of Physicians (ACP) eliminated the MKSAP Print-only offering from their product line.  Our library attempted to purchase copies of MKSAP 19 Complete which comes with print books and the digital component.  But, ACP adjusted their policy to exclude all sales to libraries stating that they cannot separate the print books from digital access.  The ACP also includes language forbidding the transfer of the MKSAP materials from the purchaser to a second party.  Additionally, they only allow one person to purchase one MKSAP program.

The Library did try to purchase the MKSAP Complete, but ACP refused to fulfill the order. Even though we would not share the single-account credentials and only loan out the print books, they will not sell them to us. We’re sorry that we won’t be able to provide these highly valued resources for our learners.”

Why doesn't the Library subscribe to these?

  • The Library has never had the budget to buy them and it is difficult to determine the value we would get if we did have a subscription – uptake an unknown and at times we’ve heard that some professional colleges buy access for members
  • Some such as MKSAP have no institutional licence available
  • They are intended for individuals and require individual logins so that learning progress can be tracked
  • We assume people can use PD entitlements in their salary to buy access as required
  • Individual subscriptions are portable and can go with you if you change jobs
