The Canadian Electronic Library (CEL) has made a number of changes to its collections. Last December, CEL discontinued the Canadian Health Research Collection (CHRC), a resource that several BC ELN libraries licensed through e-HLbc. This year, CEL has merged the Canadian Public Policy Collection (CPPC) and the Canadian Health Research Collection (CHRC), and called this new larger collection the Canadian Documents Collection (CDC). CEL renamed the Canadian Publishers Collection (CPC) the Canadian Books Collection (CBC). And CEL is offering partner libraries pricing for Canadian Electronic Library Complete, which includes both the Canadian Books Collection (CBC) and the Canadian Documents Collection (CDC).



Updates: 

Pricing for CEL Complete has been revised. The new pricing is $1.18 per FTE, down from the original $1.28 per FTE. The updated price equals the combined total of the Canadian Books Collection ($0.98 per FTE) and the Canadian Documents Collection ($0.20 per FTE). Please see the revised pricing section below for more details.


Overview

Description: 

This grouped collection is made up of the following resources:

Canadian Books Collection

This is the centrepiece of the Canadian Electronic Library. Over 70 leading Canadian publishers have to date made over 15,000 titles available for library use through the Canadian Publishers Collection. Many volumes and series critical for the pursuit of Canadian studies are available here. Most of these titles are also available under perpetual access licensing terms. In addition, about 4000 titles are available for perpetual access licensing only, having been excluded from subscription licensing by their publishers.

Canadian Documents Collection

Canadian Documents is an amalgamation of the two services below.

Canadian Public Policy Collection

Monograph publications from Canadian public policy institutes, government agencies, advocacy groups, think-tanks, university research centres and other public interest groups. The organizations included in this collection represent the leading edge of primary research and opinion in all areas of Canadian public policy. Their publications are vital to the understanding of developing issues in every arena of Canadian public life.

Canadian Health Research Collection

A curated collection of current monograph publications from Canadian research institutes, government agencies and university centres working in the area of health and medical research. The organizations included in this collection are active publishers of primary research in the field. The publications included are both general policy documents as well as those of a specialized technical nature.

There are over 40,000 titles in the combined collection to mid-2015, and the service provides 300-400 new current titles to subscribers every month.
