How can I save on TREN? 

CLC members receive a discount on TREN’s annual full-text subscription, which allows for 500 downloads over a 12-month period. The current discount is 10%, with 31 participating libraries. If we reach 40 participants by the September 11, 2025 deadline, the discount will increase to 15%. Final pricing will be determined after that date based on the total number of participants. Invoices will be issued by ACL with a 30-day net term. The subscription year runs from September 15, 2025, to September 15, 2026.

If you are new to this offer, you can view 2025 pricing details and become a subscriber by completing the TREN ORDER FORM. If you are already a subscriber through the CLC group offer, there’s no need to fill out a form — your subscription will automatically renew unless you notify us that you’d like to cancel. If your CLC membership is not current for the 2025-2026 membership period by September 12, your TREN subscription through this CLC offer will be discontinued on September 16, 2025.

Now is a great time to join and help increase participation so all members can benefit from greater savings!
