1. Read our Institutional Site Licence carefullyYou must agree to the terms of our institutional site licence before you register. Details of our licence agreements can be found at www.oxfordjournals.org/librarians/licence_options

2. Have your subscriber number to handThis is usually an 8 or 12 digit number. If your number has fewer than 8 digits you should prefix it with up to four '0s' as required. If you have more than one subscriber number you can activate each one individually. To consolidate all your subscription under one number please contact Customer Services (see overleaf).NB When you have more than one delivery address (e.g. some of your titles may be mailed to you direct from us and some via an agent), in this case we regret that we are not able to consolidate the subscriptions onto one subscriber number.

3. Decide on your contact details and passwordWe need a named contact, address, and valid e-mail address. Ideally, the e-mail address should be a shared address so that staff changes don't impact on the management of your account (e.g. library@institute.edu). You will also need to choose a password which will be for Library Administrator use only.

4. Identify the IP addresses that you wish to registerYou are entitled to register the IP details for site-wide access to your subscription. The IP addresses must be registered to your institution and not a public proxy server. Your IT Department should be able to supply you with the IP addresses of the computers in your institution and confirm whether or not a proxy server is in use. For more information refer to the Help with IP addresses section at www.oxfordjournals.org/Register

5. Register Visit www.oxfordjournals.org/Register and select the New Users link. Fill in your details and follow the online prompts to register.

6. Add new/manage subscriptionsSelect Manage your Subscriptions and input your latest institutionalsubscription number(s). The entire list of journals associated with that number will then appear.

7. Input your IP addressesIf this is the first time you have activated a subscription, you will be prompted for your institution’s IP addresses. When you add further subscriptions, the IP addresses you have previously entered will be applied to each new subscription.

Now tell your users to visit www.oxfordjournals.organd to start browsing our journals!
