AP Stylebook Online demonstration for college libraries

If you have the Associated Press Stylebook on your shelves, AP Stylebook Online has several advantages for you and for your library’s patrons:

Search makes it easier to navigate than paper.
AP editors update it throughout the year.
Online-only features including Ask the Editor and Topical Guides make the content far more comprehensive.
Digital content can’t go missing or get damaged.

We launched our concurrent-user site license in response to requests from college libraries.

Multiple users can access the content simultaneously.
You don’t need to create usernames or passwords for users, you just tell us your broadcast IP addresses and anyone accessing your custom URL on your internet connection gets access.
When you send us your VPN's broadcast IP range, off-campus users can access the content easily via the VPN.
We offer the VPAT accessibility documentation you need to demonstrate your commitment to accessibility for all patrons.

Our e-commerce system includes several features to make it easier for you to place your order:

Our Stylebook Online product page walks you through a handful of questions to find the subscription that’s right for you.
You can request a quote showing that subscription you selected, and we’ll automatically email you a PDF on our letterhead so you can forward to your manager or accounts payable team.
We offer a third-party purchasing option, so if your finance team will place the order but you or someone else at your library wants to be the site administrator, they can designate you as the user when they check out.
