Successful research and teaching as well as a secure international top position of Switzerland as a science location require the access of the scientific community to the electronic journal archives of scientific publishers. "National licenses improve their nationwide availability. They are available in particular to researchers, students and employees of universities, cantonal libraries and hospitals, and other non-commercial higher research and educational institutions. But also private users with permanent residence in Switzerland have access to the "National Licenses" if they register accordingly via www.nationallicences.ch.
