Access and Usage
How does the online registration and access work?
Single user access is available when purchasing The International Handbook of Universities. Each copy has on its cover a sticker printed with a unique access code for WHED Online. You need to visit www.whed-online.com, click on ‘register’ and follow the instructions. If you have purchased more than one copy of the Handbook, you can enter additional access codes, which will give you concurrent access for the number of books that you have purchased. Once the code has been activated you can set up your account. The single user access runs for 12 months from date of publication.
Multiple concurrency user access is available through purchasing a site license from our Online Sales Teams. The price of a site license is dependent on the size of institution and FTE, for more information please contact our sales team at onlinesales@palgrave-usa.com (North America) or onlinesales@palgrave.com (Rest of World).
