Any differences with Lab/Institutional subscriptions, beyond storage?

Hi all,
I'm working to get Zotero adopted at my institution (healthcare organisation in the UK) and need a few confirmations for my Info Governance / Intellectual Property / IT oversight people:

- does the purchase of a Lab or Institutional subscription bring _any_ changes in functionality, support, configuration, admin oversight, etc.? Anything beyond the unlimited storage.
- is Institutional access based on email domain? All our email accounts are on the @nhs.net domain, the same as most other NHS institutions in the country.
- is there any mechanism to actively activate/deactivate accounts in an Institutional account?

I think I know the answer to these questions, but I would appreciate an official reply I can present to the IT oversight team.

Thanks!
  • There is no difference in functionality other than unlimited storage associated with each account that is connected to the lab/institution.

    Institution subscriptions are based on email domain. They are priced with the expectation that only a minority of members of the institution will use Zotero. Lab subscriptions are based on a managed list of lab members.

    For you situation, I would suggest emailing storage@zotero.org with details about your group size and they can help you figure out what would make sense for your use case.
  • That's in line with what I understood, thanks for the confirmation!
