Re: statewide licensing
Cambridge Scientific Abstracts is successfully working with a number of state-wide systems including GALILEO (GA) and VIVA (VA). The contracts includes system wide access to all of our databases for all the members of the consortia (including all academic, public and community college libraries). In addition, we are in the process of rolling out programs with a number of regional networks including PALINET, SOLINET and AMIGOS. These programs allow for public, academic, school and special libraries to participate. I would be happy to share with you our successful approach in working with these networks. I can tell you that the key to success in our negotiations with these networks was flexability. Simultaneously, I would strongely urge you to also contact the the VIVAs or GALILEOs directly to discuss their successful strategies in working with vendors such as CSA. Barbara McFadden Allen, Assistant Director at CIC (Committee on Institutional Cooperation) recently discussed this topic at a presentation at the American Library Association Meeting in Washington D.C. (Feb). You may want to contact her and get a copy of her presentation? I think her email address is bmallen@uiuc.edu?
