Image Quest is a new offering from Encyclopaedia Britannica for 2011 to 2013. Image Quest can be taken separately or in combination with the Britannica Online Academic Edition (BOLAE) agreement. Image Quest is an online image library which contains more than a million images from the world’s best image providers including National Geographic, Getty Images, National History Museum and many more. This easy-to-use online portal provides quick access to rights-cleared high-quality images. This is an optional addition to the Encyclopaedia Britannica agreement, with discounted pricing offered to renewing Britannica Online Academic Edition subscribers (renewing in 2011/12). Should an institution chose not to renew Britannica Online Academic Edition (BOLAE) but opt to take Image Quest, institutions will then be charged at the same pricing level as BOLAE. For further information on pricing, please view the detailed pricing document located on the ‘pricing and subscription information’ tab for the relevant online agreement.
