SWAN Library Directors & Administrators- Just a reminder and a point of clarification: Those libraries that would like to opt-out of the EBSCO database group purchase, please use this online form to notify SWAN: https://support.swanlibraries.net/forms/80756 (Support site login required) *The e-ballot vote that closed on Monday is not your library's indication of opting out.* If you submit using the form above, it will automatically respond to you with a confirmation email receipt, and it opens a SWAN support ticket. Thus far I have opt-outs submitted by three libraries. The deadline to opt-out is Sunday, February 28th and it is perfectly fine to wait another week if you are deciding to remain in the deal. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me directly, or to SWAN Electronic Resources Consultant Robin Hofstetter at robin@swanlibraries.net<mailto:robin@swanlibraries.net> or by phone at 630-326-7823.

We will now move forward with libraries officially opting out of the EBSCO database group purchase. The online form below is for libraries that wish to opt-out. This form will need to be completed by end of day February 28th. Those public libraries that do not op-out will be automatically included in the year-2 renewal. Opt-out form (Support site login required): https://support.swanlibraries.net/forms/80756 I will post revised EBSCO pricing on Monday, February 22nd and then again on Friday, February 26th. The final EBSCO pricing will be posted on Monday, March 1st. I will do my best to try to make the SWAN EBSCO pricing clear for those that need to see the amount for your library in order to make a decision. I have attached the vote reports to this email. Thanks for participating!
