NB Individual (non-member) subscriptions are available for Imaging only.

1. Will I receive a password? May I share my password with friends, or is use limited solely to me?

   When you complete the subscription process, you will be asked to choose a user name and a password. You are the only one licensed to use this password.

2. What if I forget my password?

   We have instructions for what to do if you forget your user name or your password. Details about how to do this will be included as part of the subscription process.

3. Why should I get an Individual (Non-Member) subscription?

   Individual (Non-Member) Subscribers have access to:

   Tables of contents, abstracts, full text searching, full text display, PDFs, links to Medline, future tables of contents, and the advantage of having password access to Imaging Online from any computer connected to the Internet.
   [Ordering Procedure] [Cost] [ BIR Membership ]

4. How can I tell if my institution has subscribed? How do I get my institution to subscribe?

   If your institution has a paper subscription, it will be eligible to have an electronic version of the journal as well. In so doing, you will automatically have access to the tables of contents, abstracts, full-text searching, full text display, PDFs, Medline links, and future tables of contents. You'll also see a button at the top of the page confirming you're signed in as part of an institution.

   If your institution does not have a paper subscription, it cannot get an electronic version of Imaging. If you would like to have an institutional subscription, please contact your local librarian. NB If your library subscribes to BJR, it will receive free access to Imaging.

5. Will I still be able to get the paper version?

   Yes, individuals and institutions will continue to be able to receive the paper version.

6. Who is eligible for an Individual (Non-Member) and a Member Subscription?

   Individual (Non-Member) subscriptions are available to individuals, providing them with a paper and electronic version of Imaging. BIR Members are eligible for Member Subscriptions to Imaging, providing them with a paper and electronic version of the journal. Members and Non-Members may also have access to Imaging Online through an Institutional Subscription. Institutional Subscriptions are somewhat more limited than Member Subscriptions. Full-text access from off of the institution's network (e.g. home access) is not available. BIR Members are the only individuals who can receive an electronic only subscription to Imaging Online.

7. How can I access Imaging Online if I don't have access through an institutional subscription?

   You may wish to apply for BIR membership or you may wish to purchase an Individual (Non-Member) print subscription which provides access to the electronic version. Without a subscription you have access to Tables of contents, abstracts, and full text searching (without full text viewing) at no cost and without having to register.

8. How do I become a member of BIR?

   Information about BIR Membership and application forms are available from BIR.
