Hi Jaki,

So nice to hear that your class is implementing BiblioCommons (even theoretically).

Actually, we're happy to share our pricing models at any time. We have considered just posting it on our website. In general, we think it's not great for libraries when vendors don't have consistent, open pricing formulas for everyone. For our catalog service, our pricing model is this:

Annual cost which includes hosting, support, and upgrades: $.08 per service population (not registered borrowers) or a minimum of $10,000. There is also a price break for libraries that have more than 700,000 in their service pop. After 700,000, it's $.045 per service pop.

1-time implementation: Roughly 1/2 of the annual cost or a minimum of $12,000.

I'd be happy to share more if you're interested. I also graduated from ESU's SLIM program (I used to be the I.T. Director at Johnson County Library and we were early adopters of BiblioCommons in the states), and I would be happy to give you a call if you'd like additional information about our services and vision.

All the best, Erica
