Update: July 2023

In response to a recent survey, 88% of BC ELN partner libraries have committed to subscribing to the URB, and the Office is moving forward with licensing this bundle for 2024-2027.

• If your institution has committed to the URB, no further action is needed on your part. When the Common Suite expires on May 31, 2024, your institution will be added to the URB license which begins June 1, 2024. Communication and invoicing will be managed through ConsortiaManager.
• If your institution is not committing to the URB, you will have the opportunity to opt in to Academic Search or Business Source before the Common Suite expires on May 31, 2024. These opt-in licenses will be broadcast through ConsortiaManager in April or May 2024.
