Bonnie Juergens commented that a press release will go out soon to inform TexShare participants about the availability of Archives USA as a subsidized TexShare product that will be broadly available to all academic and public libraries in Texas. A test of GaleNet is currently underway. Use volume will be assessed by July 22. Prices reflect the TexShare discount, though further discounts may be possible. Licensing is accomplished directly with Gale.
Gale provides all invoicing.
The subscription start date will be September 1. Britannica Online will be available for testing very soon. The subscription start date is August 1. Official FTE counts have been supplied by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and ICUT offices. Community college FTE counts are forthcoming.
