December 2025

Newsletter title Vital Signs floats over a zig zagged line that looks like a heart monitor read out. Text below reads Stay connected with eHLbc news and updates. There is a holiday bouquet next to the title and a cardinal bird sits on the title.

Happy Holidays from eHLbc!

The eHLbc community has many achievements to celebrate from 2025. To learn more about just a few of eHLbc's achievements this year, read on!


An update on the Core Suite 2026-2030 Renewal. 


The eHLbc Core Suite team has completed negotiations for the next term of the Core Suite (April 1, 2026 - March 31, 2030), securing low annual increases on Core Suite products for the four year term. The Core Suite Web has now been updated with information including the 2026-2030 Case for Renewal, and sent to eHLbc membership alongside a survey asking full members to reaffirm commitment to participation in the Core Suite for the 2026-2030 term. The eHLbc Office will provide an update on membership in early January.


A brand-new New Resource Selection Process. 


The eHLbc team has streamlined the process of suggesting new consortially licensed resources by combining the eBox and Ranking Survey into a new annual New Resource Selection Process. The team hopes that these efforts will result in a dynamic, transparent process. The first round will be open until February 2026; please submit your suggestions! 


A successful partnership for member engagement. 


In November, eHLbc partnered with HLABC to offer an online reprisal of the CHLA session “Getting Comfortable with Context: An Introductory Qualitative Research Methods Workshop.” Over 30 attended! We look forward to offering more sessions in partnership with HLABC in 2026. 

Here's to many more collaborative successes in 2026!

The eHLbc Administrative Centre will be closed from December 24th to January 2nd inclusive. We will be back in the office on January 5th.
