EPIC subscription options
The EPIC subscription year runs from 1 April - 31 March. You are able to join EPIC at any time during the subscription year and pay a pro-rated subscription through to the end of the subscription period.
EPIC offers two types of subscription options. The 'EPIC Packages' and the 'EPIC Opt-in Products.'
EPIC Packages
These resources offered by EPIC have been grouped into a number of 'package' options. Libraries who belong to the EPIC Consortium can select from this range of packages, and pay the subscription that applies to their chosen package. A contribution towards EPIC's administration costs is included in the pricing for the EPIC Packages.
