Curio.ca Renewal 2015-2016 [1]
November 2015: Based on aggregated subscribers nationwide, BC ELN partner libraries will benefit from the largest consortial discount on Curio.ca.
This product is made available to BC ELN partner libraries through a Consortia Canada national site license. The final price per FTE is not determined until the final number of subscribers is known across all participating consortia. Last year, the number of subscribers nation-wide, with aggregated numbers, qualified for the largest possible discount.
To RENEW, no response is required from current subscribers as listed above. To CANCEL or to CHANGE OPTIONS, libraries should contact BC ELN by the response deadline.
Late subscriptions are permitted, and their pro rated pricing will be based on the cents/FTE for the main subscription to this product.
