I am pleased that the 2014 offer includes better discounts that can be reached much more quickly based on lower numbers of participating libraries than last year. For example, for the 2014 uploads of content (most but not all titles have 2014 publication dates), the discount structure off list price is as follows. Pricing is also available for the content in 2011-2013 collections.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoTableGrid border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0
