Canadian Electronic Library:
An affordable choice for every library
 
UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES

COLLEGES
 
Jim Bruce, Librarian at NVIT, British Columbia's Aboriginal public post-secondary institute says:

"Canadian Electronic Library gives us a range and depth of material that would be far out of our budget range in print."

PUBLIC LIBRARIES
 
Several large public library systems in British Columbia have introduced the CEL platform as a means of making BC Books Online available to its patrons.

CEL Usage Continues to Climb
 
CEL is installed in the libraries of all universities in Canada, as well as in dozens of other institutions. With over 10,000 titles in the Publishers Collection and 15,000 in the Public Documents Collections, usage is continuing to climb as students discover this amazing new resource.
 
Over 90% of the CPC collection was used in the 4th quarter of 2009. This is an astonishing percentage for most academic libraries, where 50% usage of print collections is considered high. CEL continues to prove its value.
