A member of our team met with a representative from Accordance Bible Software. In Spring 2025 they are planning to implement a web portal subscription model with an FTE-based cost scale. They seem open to providing a discount for CLC members. We plan to resume the conversation once the product has launched.  

We recently received an updated discount list from Emery-Pratt. Please see the website for details.

Greetings, CLC members! It is somehow now the last month of 2024. In some ways, December can bring a sense of finality as we wrap up a school semester and prepare to end another calendar year. But there is also the sense of the hope and joy of new beginnings as we enter the Advent season and rejoice in the birth of our Savior, the One who makes all things new. May we all trust that He who is our Alpha and Omega, our Beginning and End, will carry us through all seasons of life. 

Don’t Miss Out on This Exclusive CLC Offer—Order by December 13!

Take advantage of this highly popular opportunity to enhance your library collection:

• Save 30% on new 2024 collections in Biblical Studies, Pastoral Ministry/Missions, Leadership, and Mental Health.
• Enjoy the same 30% discount on any of the four 2023 collections or consortia-eligible à la carte titles of your choosing (minimum order: $1,000).
• Save 10% on select Zondervan/HarperCollins titles.

Visit the EBSCO offer page for complete title lists and offer details. For pricing questions or to place an order, contact our dedicated representative, Robin Corder, today.

Secure these resources for your library while the discounts are available!

We have heard from a few of you, but we would need 6 libraries to participate to initiate any cost savings. Please email [email protected] if you have questions about this potential discount or are interested in participating.

The CLC team is exploring a possible discount opportunity with Ubiquity, one of our 2024 conference sponsors. Ubiquity provided CLC members with an informational webinar about their institutional repository platform and a proposed consortial discount.  You can access the webinar recording here (Passcode: E@Q1a%53). Please note that the pricing information shared in the webinar is dependent upon the CLC accepting Ubiquity as a vendor – the top row is their regular pricing, the lower row would be the discounted consortium pricing. Ubiquity is planning to launch a micro repository option early next year for smaller institutions with more limited content needs. Pricing is still to be determined. If you have any interest in participating in a CLC consortial repository opportunity with Ubiquity, please contact [email protected] so we will know how/if to move forward in our conversation with Ubiquity.

Your CLC leadership team has begun (or in some cases, trying to begin) conversations with the following vendors to negotiate new discounts or expand existing partnerships: Accordance Bible Software, Grammarly, Loeb Digital Library, OCLC, and Proquest. We will provide more information as we have it available. 

Happy November! As Thanksgiving approaches, it is a good time to reflect on the many blessings in our lives.  Most of all, we are grateful for the gift of Jesus, God’s only Son.

We can also be thankful for a rich Christian heritage.  As my state, Tennessee, recognizes November as Christian Heritage Month, we can celebrate how our families, churches and educational institutions build on this legacy by providing Christian education.

This month we also remember those around the world who have been and still are being persecuted for their faith in Christ.  May their lives inspire us to be faithful servants who leave a legacy of faith for those who come behind us.

Save 30% on the new collections in Biblical Studies, Pastoral Ministry/Missions, Leadership, and Mental Health, on any of the four 2023 collections, or on consortia-eligible a la carte titles of your choosing ($1000 minimum order). A 10% discount is available on selected Zondervan/HarperCollins titles. Please see the ACL website for title lists and all the details. For pricing questions or to place an order, please reach out to our rep, Robin Corder.

The ACRL Benchmark tool provides U.S. libraries with an invaluable resource for making data-driven decisions through custom peer comparisons. Subscribers gain access to interactive data dashboards with visualizations and filters, as well as a custom report builder that includes longitudinal data dating back to 1998. This tool can be especially useful if academic library data is no longer collected by IPEDS.

The pricing for group subscriptions offers significant savings. For up to 10 libraries, the annual cost is $3,150, with each additional library costing $210. (To compare, individual subscriptions are $630 per year.) If six libraries participate, there’s a 15% savings, and with 10 libraries, the discount increases to 50%. The more libraries that join, the greater the discount, making it a cost-effective option for groups.

Additional Offer Details:

• A group subscription can start at any time and is valid for one year from the purchase date.
• A minimum of 6 libraries must participate to activate group savings.
• ACRL can bill each institution individually.
• New schools can join at any time during the subscription period, but they will be billed at the original price and will share the same expiration date as the rest of the group.
• At renewal, pricing will be based on the number of renewing subscribers and any new members.

We have heard from a couple of you. If you’re interested in joining this group subscription to ACRL Benchmark, please fill out this form by November 15 so we can see if we have enough libraries to stat the group subscription at this time. 

The CLC team is exploring a possible discount opportunity with Ubiquity, one of our 2024 ACL Conference sponsors. Ubiquity will provide CLC members with an informational webinar about their institutional repository platform and the proposed consortial discount.  The webinar will take place November 20 at 2 pm EST. A recording of the webinar will be made available afterward.
