we cannot offer post termination access. The Digital Loeb Classical Library is a digital platform rather than a collection of e-books. Because it is not a static collection but continues to be updated as we add or update texts, it is not possible to download the library in its entirety. The functionality of the site relies on it being a web platform and it is technologically not possible for us to offer post termination access.

Notes:

Multi-campus note added to amend license: COPPUL's policy is not to accept multi-campus fees because it penalizes physical location while the majority of use from all institutions is off-campus where physical location or campus is not a factor in use
