Colorado K-12 EBSCO Renewals Coming Soon

By Ellen Fox

The new subscription year for the Colorado K-12 statewide EBSCO purchase will be starting soon, and BCR is beginning the renewal process now. Current subscribers will receive an e-mail asking them to commit for the coming year (July 1, 2002 - June 30, 2003). Regular invoices will then be issued, and libraries need to pay by May 31.

The EBSCO statewide purchase represents a huge savings over regular EBSCO pricing. Elementary schools pay only $334, middle schools $417 and high schools $500 for the year. Public libraries pay only $590 per building. There are also discounts for academic and special libraries. More information about the statewide purchase can be found at: www.aclin.org/committees/airs/ebscodb_faq.html.

New subscribers are welcome and should fill out the sign-up form at: www.bcr.org/~randd/ebsco.html.

Please note that there is no Regional Library Systems subsidy for small libraries for the July 2002 through June 2003 subscription year.

For more information, please contact BCR's Ellen Fox at efox@bcr.org.
