How does my institution subscribe to The AMICO Library?

Complete the AMICO Library License Agreement that corresponds to your institution type, request service from the selected Distributor, and pay the annual license fee.
Use the Distributor links above for details.

Can my institution subscribe to The AMICO Library through multiple distributors?

AMICO will waive its license fee for the second and subsequent subscription to The AMICO Library and in its place, charge only a flat administrative fee $500 for each additional subscription after the first. This policy will go into effect with any new subscriptions/renewals and is not retroactive.
No additional AMICO Library License is required. Only one license is necessary regardless of the Distributor. AMICO Distributors will still charge a service fee for their delivery of The AMICO Library. A Distribution Agreement will be required with each Distributor.
If you would like to order The AMICO Library through multiple distributors, please follow the normal procedure; place your order directly with the Distributor. When asked about your enrollment, let the Distributor know that you already have a subscription in place, and that you are interested in an additional Distributor. AMICO will verify this fact with the Distributor, prior to the commencement of service.
