Perpetual Access Pricing

Prices for perpetual access licenses for individual titles are set by publishers. Under a perpetual access license, the library acquires online access rights which allow the library to retain ownership and host the access locally in the event that its ebrary channel is cancelled. We also offer a fee-based hosting service as an option.

There are two viewer options available: single-user or multiple simultaneous-user (SUPO or MUPO.)
Under the SUPO option, a title is available only to one viewer/user. In cases of simultaneous demand, however, the system informs second and subsequent users that the title is being used and provides a queuing function that manages the “lineup.” Because online books are typically used for only minutes per session, user service is not usually negatively affected with a SUPO license.

The viewing options that will be available for each title are also determined by publishers. While all Perpetual Access titles are available for SUPO licensing, some are not released by their publishers under MUPO terms.

Canadian Documents Collections

N/A

Included*

Because titles in the Canadian Documents collections are made available without charge by their publishers on their websites, perpetual access licensing is included with the subscription price. We provide a complete archive of all documents in PDF form for download by subscribing institutions; these files are named by accession number, allowing the institution to create a local store of documents linked to the MARC records provided.

 Perpetual access licenses may be purchased in several ways:
  • through the eBOP feature on the ebrary partner site.
  • through wholesalers like Blackwell, YBP and Baker and Taylor
  • directly from GLC using the CEL Title List.
