Library and institutional subscription prices
The Lyell Collection library subscription prices do not vary by size or type of institution, but are based on current pricing policy. No additional charge is being made for the greatly enhanced functionality of journal, Special Publication and book content hosted in the collection.
The Lyell Collection Complete has been priced to include all content at a rate which is discounted compared to the purchase price of individual components and the Geological Society believes this represents excellent value for money. No additional discounts will be negotiated for Lyell Collection content.
