eBox and Ranking Survey

Nominating a product will not oblige your institution to acquire that product.
 

The results of the Ranking Survey will largely determine which products eHLbc investigates for consortial licensing. Other criteria considered in choosing the products to investigate further include content, functionality, technical requirements, cost, and management. Of course, the vendor or publisher must be willing to work with consortia.  
 

All suggested products should meet the following criteria to be included in the ranking survey: 

• Related to a health discipline;
• Electronic or web-based;
• Not already licensed by a partner consortium;
• Contains minimal content overlap with products currently licensed by eHLbc;

Products that were investigated for licensing in the past, and were found to not be affordable or to not offer a fair and equitable pricing model, may not be considered for consortial licensing during the current product selection process.

There is no limit. You may add any number of suggestions to the eBox so long as you do so within the period the eBox is open.
 

All full and affiliate members are invited to participate in the new product selection process. Any number of staff from a single member institution may add suggestions to the eBox.  Please note, however, that only one representative from each institution can vote in the Ranking Survey for their institution's preferred products.
