BC ELN, COPPUL, The Alberta Library, and the Manitoba Library Consortium are participating in a special offer for the EBSCO academic e-books collection. In total there are 10 collections, with the Academic Collection being the largest and most complete collection.
There is a 2% increase over last year's pricing. The final pricing discount will be determined by participation throughout western Canada. BC ELN/COPPUL libraries are asked to respond to BC ELN.
Based on current participation across the four consortia, we anticipate that libraries will benefit from a 20% discount level for 21-39 libraries.
The current list of titles from the Academic Collection is available here. This includes titles added and removed between July 2016 and May 2017. The current collection consists of approximately 159,000 titles.
Late joins are permitted. Invoices will be prorated from the date of access.
