IEEE has announced a new licensing option to the IEEE Biomedical Engineering Library for institutions. It is now available at an introductory annual rate of $9,995 for a special one-user license. This license is targeted at smaller institutions and start-up companies.
The standard five-user license for access to the IEEE Biomedical Engineering Library costs $19,995.

So you are paying 1/2 the price with 1/5 of the access slots....not exactly fair to me. If you are start up company or a small institution this still seems to be a pretty hefty price to pay, especially for a start up company. I would be interested to know what other bio-tech companies/libraries are currently doing and whether they feel this is a bargain.
