[SWANcom] ANNOUNCEMENT: Chicago Tribune Group Purchase Renewal

SENT ON BEHALF OF SUSAN WEINMANN-STANFA, RAILS RESOURCE SHARING SPECIALIST: Dear LLSAP Member Libraries, We would like to invite RAILS LLSAP members to participate in the Chicago Tribune (current file) & Historical Tribune database discount offer. Chicago Tribune allows users to search the full-text of all articles in all editions and sections (including the RedEye) of the Chicago Tribune. Coverage of the current file is 1985 to present. The Chicago Tribune Historical Archive allows users to search the complete text of the Chicago Tribune, including classified and display advertisements, from 1849 to 1988. All participating libraries will begin their subscriptions on April 1, 2014. For libraries that have had a May 1 subscription start date on either or both Chicago Tribune current file and historical file in the past, your subscription start date will be changed to April 1 with a pro-rated 11-month subscription period. This year's pricing is only a 2.75% increase from last year. Please contact ProQuest to make arrangements for a change in start date and for specific pricing for your library. In order to obtain accurate pricing, you must have your library's population-served figure available before you contact ProQuest. Commitments on your participation in this group purchase are due to ProQuest by the close of the business day on Monday, March 10. Thank you! Stay tuned for more information on group purchasing discounts available to RAILS LLSAP members in the coming months. If you have any questions or need more information please contact: Bill Brauer, Account Manager at ProQuest at: Bill.Brauer@proquest.com<mailto:Bill.Brauer@proquest.com> and: 800.521.0600 X74091.
