Well my library was part of a large consortium so who knows how the costs were shared amongst the members. Most of the cost was probably an annual maintenance fee. I expect the 3M catalog is a lot cheaper than the Overdrice subscription and so they are probably saving expenses as one of their motivations to switch.
