What are TAL’s goals and priorities for the licensing program?
Answer
TAL’s purpose is to support and enable members' access to the technologies, licensing solutions, and related services necessary to better serve their users.
TAL licensing strives to provide equitable access to library and information resources for Albertans, through our member libraries.
The resource selection, investigation and negotiation process is a heavily vetted process and sometimes a lengthy one. Licensing for a consortia with different membership types can be complex. TAL works to offer products after a thorough investigation and at the best possible price available.
