CARL Members Release 2019-2020 Journal Subscription Cost Data and Earlier Data - Canadian Association of Research Libraries

February 16, 2021 –  Back in 2018, Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) members jointly released for the first time their journal subscription cost data for collections and packages negotiated by Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), as part of their commitment to greater transparency of licensing information. Today, CARL’s university library members have once again released their expenditure data for journal and database subscriptions licensed through CRKN.  The current release, which is accessible via the Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR), covers subscription costs for 2019-2020.   At this time we are also releasing two earlier datasets, from 2014-2015 and 2015-2016, meaning that data is now available for a six-year period (2014-2015 to 2019-2020 inclusive).
