Printer-friendly versionAbout BC ELN
The British Columbia Electronic Library Network (BC ELN) is a partnership between the Province of British Columbia and its post-secondary libraries. BC ELN's purpose is to develop, promote and maintain system-wide mechanisms that allow post-secondary libraries to meet the expanding information needs of the province's learners, researchers, and educators at the lowest possible cost. BC ELN operates with core funding from the Province of British Columbia, with additional project funding and staff time contributed by partner libraries.
