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.

Opt-in online form: deadline is Friday, June 14th 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 11th at 2:30 p.m.
We have a scheduled webinar for you that will take place via Zoom on Tuesday, June 11th at
2:30 p.m. We will review the SWAN EBSCO deal and explain the options for your library.
