The Canadian Dollar vs the Collection: How Canadian University Libraries are Coping

This event is from the archives of The Notice Board. The event has already taken place and the information contained in this post may no longer be relevant or accurate.

Through 2015 and into 2016, Canadian academic libraries’ collections budgets were severely strained due to the steady decline of the CAD/USD exchange rate. As most subscription fees for electronic resources (e-resources) are billed in US dollars, the falling value of the Canadian dollar significantly reduced libraries’ purchasing power. This study is based on a survey and follow-up interviews about how Canadian academic libraries are coping with the situation. Presented by Nicole Eva & David Scott. If interested, the full paper is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.21083/partnership.v11i2.3771
