The contents of the PEP Journals and books can be browsed volume by volume as if on a library stack through the "Table of Journals".

Click on a journal title in the Table of Journals

Click on a volume number to view the hyperlinked Table of Contents for that volume

Alternatively, you can browse using the "Table of Authors":

Select the author's initial from the alphabetical table

Clicking on a letter takes you to an alphabetical list of all authors listed under it ('W' in this example)

But the PEP Archive is something much more than just the information it contains. PEP Web offers superior search and hyperlink jump capacities that mean that the best way to use it is using the superior search facilities built into it. This is a product that takes full advantage of the power of modern searching and hypertext technology and more so than is usual on the web. Using the LivePublish technology (which essentially replicates that used on the PEP CD) users can do rapid full text proximity searches which quickly establish what has been written concerning various terms, texts and ideas. A bibliography can be created and browsed at leisure. There are several million automated cross-references between articles so that now, instead of going to a bookshelf to check a reference, you can instantly jump there:

Insert a search term, for example, 'countertransference'

Clicking on 'search' brings up a hyperlinked bibliography of articles that refer to the term you searched for

What else will become available?

PEP has a contract regularly to update with the latest Journal volumes and also aims to add over the next few years new journals and important books - all cross-referenced internally and to the existing PEP infobase. It is envisaged that subscribers to PEP Web will automatically receive access to all new material. In effect PEP WEB like the PEP CD Archive constitutes an almost complete library of all the main material published in the psychoanalytic field in English until three years before the current date. [Current material may be available on the Journals' own sites.]

How does it work?

PEP WEB is hosted in the United States on a dedicated secure server accessed by an Internet address off the PEP WEB site. So, once logged to the Internet, users open their usual internet browser and go to the PEP site. They are referred through the security gateway to the material automatically if they log on from agreed and predefined IP ranges; or by referral from a secure web page maintained at their own institution. If they are off campus limited numbers of faculty can be assigned a user identity and password to access from anywhere.

Support and Help

PEP Web is intuitive and can be used easily. To demonstrate the potential of the special search templates PEP has developed a HELP section which includes a thirty minute tutorial - this gives a good idea of its advanced functioning and is accessed off a TAB on PEP Help.

PEP also has a telephone customer support line in the US and Europe, open for some hours every working day. Support will be given free to one librarian-administrator per institution.

What customers are saying

PEP WEB was launched in trial versions in September 2003. These are the first comments:

"…now the academic year has started, responses from faculty to the PEP Archive are coming in. All have been very favorable although quite short. Here is one of the longer comments: Even since writing I used it again yesterday, as I was putting together the bibliography of my new book (just finished yesterday!): it saved me days and days of travels to libraries for journal references.... I'm a fan."

"…I am able to log on to PEP on the web very easily. I am very pleased with your product. You have done a wonderful job. It's presentation is easy and very professional looking. The system works quite fast. I was able to search with ease and it is fairly intuitive. I spent almost an hour searching yesterday just to try it out."

PEP WEB contains all the data and most of the search power of the PEP CD. It has been reviewed in the leading peer-reviewed journal, the International Journal of Psychoanalysis:

What does it cost?

PEP Web is only available on a site license basis - so that any member of the faculty and all registered students at a licensed institution may access it at any time. The cost then has two components based on the size of the Institution (using standard methods of compiling full time equivalents of faculty and students combined): an initial purchase fee and an annual recurrent access fee payable in the second year and subsequently. A premium may be payable where PEP Web is accessed via a third-party provider or arrangements are made through an agency.

Conditions

PEP will sign a license agreement with those universities participating. Its terms are as follows:

This license agreement is made effective as of ("Effective date") between Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing, publisher of PEP WEB, located at 35131 Beach Road, Capistrano Beach, CA 92624, USA ("Licensor") and XYZ University Libraries, ("The Licensee").
Licensor hereby grants to Licensee non-exclusive use of the Licensed Materials and the right to provide the Licensed Materials to Authorized Users in accordance with this agreement.

The materials that are the subject of this agreement shall consist of PEP Archive 1 Full Text Article Database in its most up-to-date archive version (hereinafter referred to as the "Licensed Materials").

"Authorized Users" are full and part time students and employees, including faculty, staff, affiliated researchers and independent contractors of the institution, and patrons not affiliated with institution who are physically present at institution's sites ("walk-ins").
Access is subject to the conditions set out below:

  1. PEP Web is only available on a site license basis by IP range and, where agreed, via a secure proxy server - so that any authorized user may access it at any time without limitation. It is the duty of the institution to ensure that only authorized users have access.
  2. The cost of the site license is based on the total of faculty and registered students (FTE) at the Institution (using standard methods of compiling full time equivalents of faculty and students combined).
  3. An agreed initial purchase fee is paid for the first year's access.
  4. An annual recurrent access fee is due on the anniversary of the first payment and every year thereafter. In the event the recurrent access fee is not paid access to PEP WEB will cease immediately.
  5. PEP aims to keep the recurrent fee at the existing level, inflation excepted. It automatically includes access to the most recent archive version - i.e. to all updates as they become available.
  6. The Fees are designed to give access without limitation to all those with IP ranges on a campus. The pricing is based on the complete FTE profile because this is convenient administratively and means a library administrator is free of additional organisation. PEP is well aware that the proportion of individuals using this resource on a multi-faculty campus will be low.
  7. Those institutions with a well-developed and secure system to allow off campus use to electronic resources (e.g. for distance learning programmes or to allow faculty and students to log on from an off campus address) can be accommodated provided they undertake to ensure the restriction of access to current faculty teaching at the university and registered students contained within the FTE counts.
  8. PEP has contracted with Global Village Publishing, Inc for its archive to be available from a link here 24 hours a day 7 days a week in all reasonable circumstances [1] and has taken steps to ensure full backup of its database in perpetuity. In that form it could be mounted almost anywhere. Any PEP WEB subscriber university desiring the added security can request a CD version of the current database for safekeeping and use on their own server in the event of a catastrophe.
  9. COPYRIGHT. The PEP WEB archive is owned by PEP or its suppliers and is protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions.
    1. All copyright (electronic and other) of the text, images, and photographs of the publications appearing on the ARCHIVE is retained by the original publishers of the Journals or Books. Saving the exceptions noted below, no portion of any of the text, images or photographs may be reproduced or stored in any form without prior permission of the Copyright owners.
    2. Authorized Uses. Licensee and Authorized Users may make all use of the Licensed Materials as is consistent with the Fair Use Provisions of United States and international law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit in any way whatsoever Licensee's or any Authorized User's rights under the Fair Use provisions of United States or international law to use the Licensed Materials.
    3. The Licensed Materials may be used for purposes of research, education or other non-commercial use as follows:

      4. Recover Copying Costs. Licensee may charge a fee to cover costs of copying or printing portions of Licensed Materials for Authorized Users.
      5. Electronic Reserve. Licensee and Authorized Users may use a reasonable portion of the Licensed Materials for use in connection with specific courses of instruction offered by Licensee and/or its parent institution.
      6. Databases. If the Licensed Materials are a database, compilation, or collection of information, Authorized Users shall be permitted to extract or use information contained in the database for educational, scientific, or research purposes, including extraction and manipulation of information for the purpose of illustration, explanation, example, comment, criticism, teaching, research, or analysis.
      7. Electronic Links. Licensee may provide electronic links to the Licensed Materials from Licensee's web page(s), and is encouraged to do so in ways that will increase the usefulness of the Licensed Materials to Authorized Users. Licensor staff will assist Licensee upon request in creating such links effectively. Licensee may make changes in the appearance of such links and/or in statements accompanying such links as reasonably requested by Licensor.
      8. Caching. Licensee and Authorized Users may make such local digital copies of the Licensed Materials as are necessary to ensure efficient use by Authorized Users by appropriate browser or other software.
      9. Indices. Licensee may use the Licensed Materials in connection with the preparation of or access to integrated indices to the Licensed Materials, including author, article, abstract and keyword indices.
      10. Scholarly Sharing. Authorized Users may transmit to a third party colleague in hard copy or electronically, minimal, insubstantial amounts of the Licensed Materials for personal use or scholarly, educational, or scientific research or professional use but in no case for re-sale. In addition, Authorized Users have the right to use, with appropriate credit, figures, tables and brief excerpts from the Licensed Materials in the Authorized User's own scientific, scholarly and educational works.
      11. Inter-Library Loan. Licensee may fulfill requests from other institutions, a practice commonly called Interlibrary Loan. Licensee agrees to fulfill such requests in compliance with Section 108 of the United States Copyright Law (17 USC 108, "Limitations on exclusive rights: Reproduction by libraries and archives") and clause 3 of the Guidelines for the Proviso of Subsection 108(g)(2) prepared by the National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works.
  10. No purchaser or user shall use any portion of the contents of PEP WEB in any form of commercial exploitation, including, but not limited to, commercial print or broadcast media, and no purchaser or user shall reproduce it as its own any material contained herein.
  11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

The Licensor shall indemnify and hold Licensee and Authorized Users harmless for any losses, claims, damages, awards, penalties, or injuries incurred, including reasonable attorney's fees, which arise from any claim by any third party of an alleged infringement of copyright or any other property right arising out of the use of the Licensed Materials by the Licensee or any Authorized User in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this agreement. NO LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT IS APPLICABLE TO THIS INDEMNIFICATION.
  13. Exhibit A (see below) is expressly made a part of this Agreement.
