Pricing is now available for the EBSCO Health Source Package, consisting of Health Source Consumer Edition, Health Source Nursing/Academic Edition, Alt HealthWatch, and AHFS Consumer Medication Information.

Starting this year, Nursing Reference Center (NRC) and Nursing Reference Center Plus (NRC+) are also available for licensing with the Health Source Package. At this time, pricing for NRC and NRC+ is only available for e-HLbc's post-secondary institutions because NRC is utilized and sold differently in the health sector. If there is interest on the part of the health sector, we will go back to EBSCO Health to see what pricing is available.

The subscription options are as follows:

  • Health Source Package
  • Health Source Package + Nursing Reference Center
  • Health Source Package + Nursing Reference Center Plus
