Pricing Categories for U.S. Academic Institutions
Annual
subscription prices for online databases hosted by East View Information Services are determined by categories derived from the Carnegie
Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, a widely recognized
basis for pricing JSTOR and other products for academic and research
library markets.
East View assigns all accredited
institutions of higher education in the U.S. (and several other
countries) into one of three Categories, as follows:
Category 1.
Research-level
colleges/universities widely recognized for intensive doctoral level
education and research conducted extensively across a wide variety of
disciplines, and belonging to the Association of Research Libraries.
Also includes academic institutions and research libraries in Japan.
Category 2.
Doctoral-level
colleges/universities that offer a full range of baccalaureate programs
and are generally committed to graduate education at the doctoral level
in a selective number of disciplines. Also includes academic
institutions and research libraries in Europe and Canada.
Category 3.
Master's,
baccalaureate and/or specialized colleges/universities that typically
emphasize primarily undergraduate programs with graduate education only
through the master's level, institutions conferring associate-level
degrees, and specialized institutions conferring degrees in a single
field such as health, law, theology, engineering/technology,
business/management or teacher education. Also includes academic
institutions and research libraries in Russia and China.
