Quick Facts E-resources Licensing
- Ordering for Provincial Licensing runs from Sept. 18 – Oct. 27, 2023.
- Ordering for Supplemental Licensing runs from Sept. 25 – Nov. 3, 2023.
- Each year, libraries need to place orders for all products, even if purchasing the same products as last year.
- Pricing quoted to OLS by vendors is final, and individual libraries should not be offered off-list pricing. Should you have a different experience with any participating vendor, feel free to contact Beth Harding, as this practice undermines the value and purpose of a consortial purchasing program.
- Pricing for 2024 based on population served will use the 2021 Census Data. (2022 orders were based on the 2016 Census Data)
- Pricing based on the number of cardholders or circulation data will use the 2021 Ontario Public Library Statistics as provided by the Ministry.
