In addition to the Provincial Licensing program, OLS would like to make other digital content products available to Ontario public libraries at their choice through the Supplemental Licensing program. The following criteria will apply:

• Pricing must be better than what libraries would pay through individual subscriptions
• Pricing must be valid for a minimum of one year
• Vendors must agree to the basic license term guidelines listed below
• Libraries will place orders directly with OLS
• Vendors will bill libraries directly
• Duplication and competition is allowed - multiple vendors may offer similar products
• Products negotiated by other consortia (e.g. Consortia Canada) are also posted here

After the submission deadline, OLS will review and choose products based on library needs and price. Supplemental Licensing products will then be posted on the OLS web site with ordering instructions for libraries. After the ordering period, OLS forwards all orders to vendors, who then contact libraries directly for set-up and billing.
