Joining Portico offers numerous and long lasting benefits and requires only a few simple steps.
The steps for a library to sign up are:
Participating libraries are asked to make Annual Archive Support payments based on their total library materials expenditures. Portico uses the definition of LME provided by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) to determine libraries’ Annual Archive Support payments.
A library’s LME can be derived from the following expenditures (print and electronic):
International institutions should convert the LME in their local currency to USD. A currency conversion tool is available at http://www.xe.com/ucc/
Once your library LME has been determined, please see the Portico Annual Archive Support payment tables below to determine your payment amount. Payment amounts are listed for e-journals and e-books. There are no fees for d-collections. See the notes on these tables for further information. Portico also offers additional savings to participating consortia and Archive Founders.
