Hello member library directors, administrators, e-content specialists: The pricing for the SWAN group-purchase of EBSCO subscription database package was presented at the Committee of the Whole membership meeting last week on February 7th. That pricing is included in the meeting packet, and I have pulled out that pricing which is linked directly to the news post below which has all the details. https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2023-02/94116 Any public library participating currently will automatically be included in the year-4 renewal. If you would like your library to withdraw from the group purchase arrangement, please submit your library's opt-out by February 24th, end of the day. The link to withdraw is in the news post above. If you have questions about this, you can reach out to SWAN E-Resources Consultant Olivia Montolin via olivia(a)swanlibraries.net or directly with me, Aaron Skog via aaron(a)swanlibraries.net Regards, Aaron Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7022 My pronouns: he/him/his SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>
