Please note that the re-subscription rate only applies if you have already been a subscriber to the Web service for one year. This privilege is lost if the subscription is interrupted. The RVM price increase for the coming year will be based on a rate of 2%, or on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) if this exceeds 2%, and will be calculated on the basis of prices in Canadian dollars, then converted into the customer's currency.

 

RVM acquisition pricing 2025

Before purchasing thesaurus files, users must sign a license agreement authorizing the use of RVM thesauruses. To establish the basic file acquisition and updating fee, Université Laval must know how many records are contained in your library or documentation center catalogue as well as how many new records are added each year. A proposal including rates is then submitted for your approval.

 

Automated translation pricing 2025

The automated translation of authorities service only applies to RVM (Topics) authorities. Only subscribers can use this service. A base rate and use fee, either per record (batch translation) or per authority (piecemeal translation) will be billed annually. Special rates are available for retrospective translation of authorities already in your catalogue.
