How to Order

Subscription Service Purchases

The best and most economical way to acquire the Canadian Electronic Library is by subscription. One annual payment, under low pricing scaled by FTE or cardholder, provides a library system with full simultaneous multi-user access to all subscription titles included to date, as well as those released during the subscription period.

Perpetual Access Purchases

Single titles may be purchased in several ways. Existing ebrary customers may use the eBOP feature on the ebrary partner site for easy, automated and instant addition of titles.

Libraries dealing with wholesalers like Blackwell and Baker and Taylor may purchase CEL titles through these systems.

And individual titles may be ordered using the CEL Title List. See perpetual access pricing here.

Here is the order process for first-time customers:

Step 1
  

Place your order using this Order Form, to which is attached this Order Terms and Conditions document, which specifies the terms and conditions of the license.

Step 2
  

Upon order acceptance, we will complete this Technical Profile Form with you and assign an identifier for your site allowing every page of every book in the collection to bear a url which is unique to your system.
Step 3
  

You will receive a set of introductory materials, including Implementation Guides and User Aids
(available in French and English.) You'll also receive a username and password for your Partner Site, where you will find your MARC records as well as a set of web-based tools to facilitate implementation and management of the collection. These include Usage and Holdings reports and Ordering tools.
Step 4
  

Your site will be set up and your service activated within days of order approval.

Step 5
  

If you've purchased a Subscription license, new titles will be activated on your site on a monthly basis (requiring no action or administrative attention from you).

If you've purchased only Perpetual Access licenses, the licensed titles will be added to your site. Additional titles may then be purchased and added to your site instantly. See above for more detail on purchasing new titles.

MARC records for all titles (Subscription or Perpetual) will be available on your Partner Site immediately, and any updates will be posted monthly.
