Subscription Policies
Are the subscription policies "library friendly"? Yes, we offer a number of library friendly policies:
• Each subscription year purchased is for perpetual access.
• Simultaneous, multi-user access
• Archiving through LOCKSS
• Full compliance with standards with HighWire Press
Do subscribers to the online version of Telos retain access to the content for the paid period if the subscription lapses? Subscribers are entitled to retain access to the online content for their paid (subscribed) years. However any complimentary access to non-paid years is lost.
Why does Telos Press recommend SERU rather than a site license? Negotiating licenses is very time consuming, and we believe SERU is a good alternative. We do strongly prefer that institutions agree to use the SERU (Shared E-Resource Understanding). Now a NISO standard, a copy of the document, and more information is available on the NISO website.
Is a site license required for access? We do not require a site license, but prefer to use the SERU statement. If your institution requires a site license, we provide one here. It is based with permission on the site license developed by the Duke University Press Journals Division. Please try to accept the license as is, as any changes will cause a delay in completing the process.
Is there a grace period for subscribers if the renewal payment is not received by December 31st? Yes, there is a 90-day grace period for renewing subscribers.
Is there a fee for changing from a print to an online subscription? Yes, there is $50 processing fee when institutions change their subscription from print to online.

What Telos Readers Say
See all testimonials
“Telos is not only an intelligent journal that goes directly to the heart of its topics. It is also one of the few American publications that has a real knowledge of the European ideological and theoretical landscape. I have read it for more than twenty years, and each new issue is a joy!”
Alain de Benoist
Editor of Krisis
