Response Deadline: 
July 20, 2015

Subscription Term

Begins: 

August 1, 2015

Ends: 

July 31, 2016

Renewal pricing is now available for Canadian Newsstand.

A new option has been added to the pricing model. This year, libraries may choose either:

  • A one-year license, at a 3% increase
  • A two-year license, at a 2% annual increase for each of 2015/16 and 2016/17

Libraries choosing the one-year model may move to the two-year model after the upcoming two-year term ends, in 2017/18.

The vendor agrees that if an institution elects for the two year option, but due to financial hardship must cancel, they should provide 30 days notice of intention to cancel prior to start of the second subscription year.
