Ms. Guylaine Beaudry (Vice-President of Digital Strategy and University Librarian, Concordia University) at the Industry, Science and Technology Committee

Good afternoon.

At Concordia we have an acquisition budget of $7 million per year, of which 90% is devoted to digital resources. Of this number, we have the Copibec licence where we have $500K, and only $70,000 only for the digital resources that we put on e-reserves. Those are the book chapters, articles from journal issues that we put on e-reserves. There is an additional $50,000 that we pay for course packs, the print material.
