Pricing is now available for Canadian Newsstream renewal. As was annouced earlier, there have been a number of changes made to the regular offer.

  • First,  there will be a name change. “Newsstand” has been changed to “Newsstream”, "reflecting a more modern approach to news – digital, with (in the future) integrated media and links.”
  • Second, ProQuest is in the process of looking at its product offerings and streamlining collections in 2016. In the case of the Canadian Newsstream collections, ProQuest will no longer offer the Pacific and Black Press subsets, but will continue to offer the Canadian Major Dailies subset and Canadian Newsstream Complete collection.

Most BC ELN customers subscribe to Major Dailies or Canadian Newsstream Complete, but there are a number that subscribe to the Pacific Collection. Since all of the Pacific Collection content is available in Canadian Newsstream Complete, BC ELN has negotiated significant reductions to last year's Newsstream pricing model, stable 0% increases for 3 years for existing subscribers of Major Dailies and Newsstream Complete, as well as 3-year transitional pricing for Pacific Collection subscribers in order to provide Partner Libraries an option for retaining Pacific Collection content at the best price via Newsstream Complete.

Full details are included in the pricing section below.
