Pricing is now available for Canadian Newsstream renewal. As was announced last year, three-year pricing has been negotiated. We are in year 2 of that 3 year pricing. In summary:
By way of background ... last year, Proquest began a rationalization process that affected a number of products that BC ELN offered, including Canadian Newsstream. Before last year, most BC ELN customers subscribed to Major Dailies or Canadian Newsstream Complete, but there were a number that subscribed to the Pacific Collection, which was eliminated as a standalone product during the rationalization process. Since the Pacific Collection content is available in Canadian Newsstream Complete, BC ELN negotiated significant reductions to the 2015 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.
Late joins are permitted and prices will be prorated from the point of access.
