[Ads-l] New pricing for digital DARE

[Joan Hall]

I’m pleased to let you know that Harvard University Press has announced a new, tiered pricing structure for new institutional annual subscriptions and perpetual access purchases of digital DARE! This should make it much easier for smaller colleges and other libraries to add it to their collections.
 Here are the new prices:
 Academic libraries:  Annual subscription/ Perpetual Subscription

Up to 3,000 FTE:      $310/ $1,640
3,0001-10,000 FTE: $720/ $3,280
10,001-20,000 FTE: $985/ $4,935
Above 20,000 FTE:  $1,440/ $6,575

Public libraries: Annual subscription/ Perpetual subscription

Up to 50,000 users:         $310/ $1,640
50,001—300,000 users: $720/ $3,280
300,001-1 million users: $985/ $4,935
Above 1 million users:    $1,440/ $6,575

Secondary schools: Annual subscription, $250
 Individuals: Annual subscription, $49
 (For perpetual access institutional subscriptions, there is an annual fee of $150.)

 As Kate Remlinger wrote in American Speech, “These dynamic, interactive features make digital DARE an invaluable resource, not only for what it reflects about the lexicon of American Englishes, speakers, regional variation, and language change, but also as a priceless research tool in that every detail down to a gnat’s eyebrow has been considered.”
 If your library doesn’t already have it, I hope you’ll urge your librarian to strongly consider purchasing it!
