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 three consortia, we anticipate that libraries will benefit from a 20% discount level for 21-39 libraries.


This is a multi-consortial license jointly negotiated with the Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries, The Alberta Library, and the Manitoba Library Consortium.
