Subject: ACTION REQUIRED: SWAN pricing for EBSCO all-inclusive package now posted & EBSCO selection form is live

To SWAN member public libraries—

Last week at the SWAN Quarterly meeting we met to discuss the Illinois State Library e-Resource Program and its selection of EBSCO to be the provider of research databases for all libraries in Illinois.

Pricing

We now have pricing for the SWAN all-inclusive package posted for you. It has a high and low estimate for the deal, which is a price range at this point since we do not know how many libraries wish to participate in our new EBSCO all-inclusive deal.

SWAN Support page with pricing and details (login required): https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/70949

Opt-in online form: deadline is Friday, June 14^th end of business day

This will notify SWAN if your library is going to want the SWAN all-inclusive package or databases through the RAILS negotiated deal with EBSCO. SWAN is acting as the go-between for the RAILS deal if your libraries decide that is the choice. One submission per library please.

We have a short window to decide. This is due to RAILS setting a Friday, June 14th deadline for its package.

SWAN Webinar Tuesday, June 11^th at 2:30 p.m.

We have a scheduled webinar for you that will take place via Zoom on Tuesday, June 11^th at 2:30 p.m. We will review the SWAN EBSCO deal and explain the options for your library.
