After further analysis of the Article Galaxy Scholar service from Reprints Desk, the developers found that setting up SS0 (single sign-on) integration is the most challenging process for small libraries. The set-up cost and time requirements for the implementation can be a challenge for these libraries. As a result of feedback, Reprints Desk is offering another option that has a one-time set-up fee of $500 and no annual license. The setup or implementation for the "Freemium" option takes less than 60 minutes on average. This new option is now available to libraries and the SSO option which is the "Premium" model will also continue to be available.
