Licensed resources

The E-Resources Committee negotiates group pricing for members on licensed products that cater to their needs. These products may include full-text collections, bibliographic/factual data, library service technologies, and educational software.

Note that OCLC products are handled as part of the RESPOND Program.

Library Resources Buyers Group

All AMICAL members institutions can join the Library Resources Buyers Group to take advantage of group pricing. The Buyers Group advises the E-Resources Committee, by representing their institution’s interests and giving feedback on potential deals.

If you have any questions, or would like to opt-in or opt-out of any deal, contact AMICAL’s E-Resources Committee at eresources@amicalnet.org
