I did purchase CINAHL through Orbis but switched to back to purchasing directly through EBSCO. I think the cost was about the same but, for the context of my institution, the administration process and fee made working through Orbis not a plus for me.

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hello Library Leaders,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Do you subscribe to CINAHL with full text through the Orbis Cascade Alliance? Did you recently sign a new institutional MOU agreement? Does anyone happen to know the cost savings of purchasing through OCA vs just EBSCO?</p>
