NOTE: The Alliance will begin managing e-resource subscriptions with July 1, 2020 renewal dates in the new ConsortiaManager ERM. Please see our FAQ page or send inquiries to: eresources@orbiscascade.org.
Libraries identify resources of interest and the Alliance works with the vendor, negotiating discounts, coordinating trials, licensing, and invoicing.
The Electronic Resources Program is run on an opt-in model. Subscriptions are started and purchases made when a sufficient number of libraries commit. (A three-library minimum is required for Alliance management of a resource.) Complete documentation is linked in the "Policies & Procedures" tab below.
Most of Alliance business is conducted via email with a goal of providing a personalized and responsive service to participating libraries.
