e-HLbc offers two types of licensing opportunities: core suite licensing and boutique licensing. Both offer members an opportunity to grow their collections by leveraging larger consortial numbers to garner the best pricing.
Members automatically gain access to the core suite of resources when they join e-HLbc. The core suite gives your users access to abstracting and indexing for 11,278 journals, 1,634 full text journals, and 360,000 records to evidence-based reviews. The core suite covers topics in nursing, evidence-based medicine, psychology, psychiatry, and countless other disciplines in the health sciences.
The suite consists of the following resources:
With e-HLbc boutique licenses, consortium members may choose to opt-in or out of participating, as their priorities and budget dictate. Participation is not required. Currently, e-HLbc offers a number of optional boutique licenses and is actively working towards bringing members more licensing opportunities in the future.
In the last couple days I have particularly noticed that e-HLbc provides an ease of access to the same core databases and journals for students of the School of Radiation Therapy whose program is joint between BCIT and the BC Cancer Agency.
