Community College Library Consortium

We received a report that the trial password used for the consortium program announcement for EBSCO was posted on a public website.  Please ensure that any of the trials set up by the consortium are only shared internally with your faculty and are not posted on a public website. Many vendors are refusing to set up generic usernames and passwords and are instead limiting trials to IP addresses only.

EBSCO has made some changes in territories for their sales staff.  In Northern California  contact  Janeen Gieseke, Senior Account Representative, 800-653-2726 x2380, jgieseke@ebsco.com  In Southern California  contact Dave Watts, Senior Account Representative, 800-653-2726 x2503, dwatts@ebsco.com

We are in the middle of a two year increase in CQ Researcher prices. Expect to see a large increase in your CQ Researcher price this spring. Sage says this is necessary to bring our pricing in line with other groups.  We will not handle the CQ hosting fees this spring as they are unable to split hosting fees. Therefore, you will not have a hosting fee charge on your spring renewal form but we will have renewal pricing for any CQ products that are due for renewal.

The consortium is working on spring pricing and renewal forms. When your renewal form is ready, you will receive an email to check our procurement system.  To print the renewal form, your browser must be set to allow a pop up window. Please contact Sarah at sarahraley@ccleague.org if you have any questions about the procurement system.
