RESOURCE DESCRIPTION ACCESS (JUNE 2010)

RDA Toolkit Solo-User Pricing, Double-User Offer, and RDA Print



ANNOUNCEMENT


RDA Toolkit Solo-User Pricing, Double-User Offer, and RDA Print

April 28, 2010

(...) The Co-Publishers for RDA have received considerable feedback about what you need to make implementation of RDA as smooth, rapid, and efficient as possible, whatever your type or size of institution and whatever country you're in. Based on what you've told us, we're introducing some additional options to the previously announced pricing and product.

 *   A solo-user license (one profile, one user) for the RDA Toolkit at $195 (USD). This solo-user license is in addition to, and differs from, the previously announced site licenses. The solo-user license is for single-user environments where access to the RDA Toolkit is not shared with other individuals in the same institution. By contrast, the previously announced site license base price of $325 (USD) is designed for multi-user environments where one concurrent user (with the option to add additional concurrent users) is shared with an unlimited number of individuals within the same institution. For more details on pricing, please visit the website www.rdatoolkit.org/pricing<http://link.ixs1.net/s/lt?id=b9146042&si=w383193040&pc=82001&ei=v597261&b=y>.

 *   A double-user offer for those who subscribe at any site license level to the RDA Toolkit before August 31, 2011. During the evaluation and initial implementation of RDA, when users are likely to need more frequent concurrent access, subscribers will receive double the purchased number of concurrent users of the RDA Toolkit at no additional charge for their first subscription period. (For example, buy a 2-user site license but get a 4-user license for no additional cost.)

 *   Full-text loose-leaf print versions of both Resource Description and Access (RDA) and RDA: Element Set View. While most users agree the preferred way to interact with RDA is online via the RDA Toolkit, the Co-Publishers will offer the full text of RDA in print (including an index) as well as online, to help ensure that RDA reaches the widest possible audience. In addition to these print items in English, the Co-Publishers will work with publishing partners to distribute translations of them to supplement translations offered in the RDA Toolkit online. Pricing and availability to be announced closer to the June RDA Toolkit launch date.
