RDA Toolkit Renewal 2021-2022 [1]
LIS/LIT Programs
LIS/LIT programs continue to benefit from stable pricing via ConCan as ALA has a pricing increase planned for LIS subscribers. Please contact BC ELN directly for pricing if interested.
To JOIN libraries should contact BC ELN by the response deadline.
Late subscribers are welcome and will be pro-rated to the common renewal date.
Interested institutions whose current subscription term to the RDA Toolkit does not match the current offer term (November 1, 2021 - October 31, 2022) will be eligible to join this ConCan offer after the expiry of their current term (pro-rated for the 2021-2022 ConCan term, then renewing in 2022 from November 1st). Contact BC ELN if we have not already communicated with you on this.
This is the second year BC ELN is offering the RDA Toolkit, an integrated, browser-based, online product that allows users to interact with a collection of cataloging-related documents and resources, including RDA: Resource Description and Access. There is no increase in pricing for this renewal.
This offer covers a subscription to the RDA Toolkit only---it does not include other ALA offerings (e.g. learning and support programs). This is not a multi-year agreement, but in anticipation of renewals, ALA have committed to a 3% cap on fee increases for 2022-2023. Institutions with an LIS program who subscribe to RDA Toolkit separately are welcome to share this offer with the LIS program who are also eligible to participate in the ConCan offer. Two separate subscriptions (library and LIS program) can be arranged.
