YES!  I always thought it was odd that the WACTLC group didn't have something like this in place.  Does anyone know, was there a reason?

Carleigh,

Intriguing idea! That collaboration makes a lot of sense to me. The Orbis Cascade agreements were developed before my time, so I don’t have the full context. BTC would be interested.

Maybe CINAHL subscriptions is something interested colleges could coordinate through WACTCLC?

I could reach out to George. Maybe it would only get you the 3% cost savings, but it could be an opening to "shared" content management?

I'm game to explore the options.

Hi Dawn. When our nursing BAS came online, we upgraded to CINAHL Ultimate with the nursing program picking up the difference between fulltext and ultimate. My collection development librarian says that we just signed the Product Order Form, which we sign each year.

My librarian's opinion is that EBSCO would offer us the same pricing as going through Orbis Cascade Alliance--EBSCO is matching the ORBIS price even if you're not a member. We also pay an extra 3% to the Alliance. She speculated that EBSCO might charge us the base price if we switched over, or they might charge us the base + 3% so we're paying the same as if we were going through the Alliance.

She thinks that it's actually more painful for us to use Orbis Cascade Alliance because you have to keep going into the dbase manager rather than have a renewal emailed directly to us. I speculate that EBSCO benefits by having us use the Alliance, because they present one big bill and get one big payment. I don't know if it goes so far as "prefers" us to use the Alliance. But it's not the benefit to us that it once was.

Hi Dawn,

      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.

All my best,

Jacquelyn

Hello Library Leaders,

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?

Thank you,
