When this happens, the IP address for your machine is not being recognized by our computer. This failure is caused by one of several things:
What should I do?
Your institution has not yet activated its institutional subscription to the journal online, or the machine you are using does not have one of the IP addresses entered by the person who "activated" the online subscription. All insitutional subscribers to the paper journal also receive access to the online journal from 5 IP addresses (regular institutional subscription) or from all IP addresses at a given site (site license). Notify your library that you would like access to the journal online, and encourage your librarian to activate the online subscription.
Each institutional subscription allows for 5 IP addresses to have unrestricted online access at one location; an institutional site license allows for unrestricted online access at one location. Any user connecting from an authorized computer on your institutional network will be allowed access to the journal online.
For the most part, an Institutional Subscription authorizes use at a localized site. A "site" is an organizational unit, and may be academic or nonacademic. For organizations located in more than one city, each city office is considered a different site. For organizations within the same city that are administered independently, each office is considered a different site.
For example, each campus in the State University of New York system is considered a different site, and each branch or office of UpJohn Laboratories is considered a different site.
When someone attempts to use an ADA journal online, our server checks to see if the requesting computer is within the list of internet IP address provided by a subscribing institution. If it is, the reader will be able to use all those services enabled for institutional readers. For institutional subscribers, there are no usernames or passwords to remember, and there is currently no limit on the number of readers from your institution who may access the journal online--although there is a limit on the number of machines (IP addresses) per site that are allowed access with the regular institutional subscription (no site license).
If readers want to access an ADA journal online from computers that are not among the licenced IP addresses at an institutional site (e.g., from their home computers), they can do so only through an individual member or non-member subscription.
It is also possible for institutions to add IP addresses by purchasing additional institutional subscriptions; however, all IP addresses must be part of the institutional on-site network (not, for example, accessing by dial-in, telnet, or commercial ISP).
If your institution has a subscription, you'll automatically have access to the tables of contents, abstracts, full-text searching, full text display, PDFs, Medline and GenBank links, and future tables of contents. You'll also see a button at the top of the page confirming you're signed in as part of an institution.
If your institution has not subscribed, or if you wish to take advantage of the additional services available to member subscribers, you can choose to access an ADA journal online with an individual member or non-member subscription.
No, at the present time, the electronic version is provided to subscribers of the paper version as an added benefit.
Yes, institutions and individuals will receive the paper version for the foreseeable future. At some time, the Association might decide to allow separate subscriptions for the electronic and paper versions.
Yes, when you buy a subscription to an ADA journal, you have access to all years of the archive database.
You may purchase an ADA journal as an individual (non-member) subscriber or you may wish to apply for ADA membership. Without a subscription you have access to the Table of Contents, abstracts, and full text searching (but not full text viewing) at no cost and without having to register.
Yes, a site license is available for 2002 subscriptions.
