Consortium Subscriptions and Memberships
ACS takes advantage of volume discounts on academic journals, data services and academic program memberships to purchase as a group and then pass the discounted savings to individual participating colleges. Currently the consortium subscribes to the Hispanic American Periodicals Index (HAPI), has a federation membership in the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) and a consortium membership in the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome (ICCS).
Consortium Purchasing Discounts
ACS is a consortium member of E&I Cooperative Services along with all of our member colleges. E&I is the largest, member-owned, non-profit purchasing cooperative serving the needs of education. It provides over 125 competitively solicited contracts and dedicated member resources nationwide with significant discounts on a wide-range of supplies and services. As a consortium, we are able to take advantage of higher discount levels in many E&I contracts because of the cumulative purchasing power of all 16 member colleges.
