The initial release in August 2004 features more than 500 APA books with copyright dates from 1950-2002, including 100 out-of-print books; 50 archival resources in psychology; and the exclusive electronic release of more than 1,500 entries from the APA/Oxford University Press Encyclopedia of Psychology. The APA says "we are still on schedule to for August 15 trials. Data should be out to vendors in early August. Ovid, CSA, Ebsco and OCLC have signed vendor agreements."
PsycBOOKS will be available on the APA's platform on 17 August. Available on CSA in early 2005, EBSCO in October 2004

PsycBOOKS Pricing - We have extended a 15% PsycBOOKS discount to PsycINFO and/or PsycARTICLES subscribers. (19/9/04)
[CAUL Pricing]
PsycBOOKS MARC files are available for download from PsycNET.

PsycEXTRA, a companion to the scholarly PsycINFO database, supplies clinicians, information professionals, policy-makers, researchers, and consumers with a wide variety of credible information in psychology, behavioral science, and health. Most of the coverage is material written for professionals and disseminated outside of peer-reviewed journals. Documents include newsletters, magazines, newspapers, technical and annual reports, government reports, consumer brochures, and more. PsycEXTRA is different from PsycINFO in its coverage, and also in its format, because it includes abstracts and citations plus full text for a major portion of the records. There is no overlap with PsycINFO.
PsycEXTRA is available on APA, EBSCO and Ovid.

CSA.
Provided CAUL members have at least one database subscription to CSA Internet Database Service: (Mark Hyer, 6/6/02)
- No access fee to PsycINFO on CSA Internet Database Service (Customer can pay APA fee directly through CAUL)
- No access fee for linking to PsycARTICLES (Customer can pay APA fee directly through CAUL and use APA interface)

Pricing Phase-in (from http://www.apa.org/psycinfo/products/phase-in.html)

This pricing phase-in applies only to former PsycLIT customers at Levels 4–8
Phase-in Schedule, Year 2
Level Current Year APA Data Fee Next Year APA Data Fee
Level 4      $5,000                                 $6,500
Level 5      $9,000                                 $13,000
Level 6      $13,000                                 $19,500
Level 7      $17,000                                 $22,750
Level 8      $19,000                                 $26,000

From Sheila Brooks to Aine Rice (15 October 2001):
In the new pricing, level 5 is broken into two groups: Level 4 which is 10,000 to 14,999 FTEs (student loads) will be $11,000 and the new level 5 is 15,000 to 19,999 will be $14,500. Level 6 will then be 20,000 FTEs and above at $19,000 (this will be the highest number).
What I am saying to you is this:
1) If a customer moves from level 5 to level 6 we will take that into consideration when pricing them and would not jump them from $13K to $19K, we would allow for some intermittent pricing.
2) If you have a particular group in mind, such as the CAUL group then we would work with that group to make sure that their pricing as a whole did not increase above a certain percentage and
3) Sites always have the option of renewing early to maintain their same pricing.
