Last October, representatives of these 12 consortia began meeting together to see how they can coordinate their efforts for the benefit of the libraries that they serve. Academic and public libraries can participate. For-profit special libraries cannot participate. Prices are good for two more years after that, ending July 31, 2000.

Access is through Web browsers, Lynx included. A public or academic library that wishes to sign up for this service needs to contact Jim Mancuso at CDLC to request the contract form, which includes basic address, contact and phone number information, IP addresses, FTE count, and requires the director's signature. Pricing quoted is for all libraries within the CDLC region. Similar offers with offer database vendors such as IAC and SilverPlatter are currently being negotiated, but no offers exist at this time. With the advent of an Internet server at CDLC, we are moving the web site in-house.
