Haere Mai, Welcome to EPIC.
A purchasing consortium which enables access to quality databases in NZ libraries

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.

Libraries that do not subscribe to an EPIC Package are also able to subscribe to EPIC Opt-in Products by paying an annual administration fee per product.
