Updates:
Important! This is a joint offer with The BC Library Coop. Geo IP authentication would be included to facilitate province wide access for all British Columbians should a participation spend across both consortia reach $1,150,000 CAD. An updated total contribution will be sent to all partner libraries throughout the offer period.
The vendor is offering the flexibility of splitting payments between fiscal years for partner libraries who would like to pay a portion in fiscal 2020/21, and the balance in fiscal 2021/22. Please refer to the pricing section below for important information about this offer's consortial pricing.
