[LIBRARYDIR] Newsbank

[Aden, Cindy]

Dear Colleagues, the Newsbank deal is at last finalized, and I am sending you the details here. All community colleges are eligible. Please contact Will for questions about enrolling.

Hope you enjoy it; our goal is to understand how valuable this news source is-especially since it is Washington news content from around the state.

Best,

Cindy

WSL OFFERS NEWSBANK COLLECTION
The Washington State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State, in cooperation with NewsBank, Inc., is pleased to offer the Access World News Research Collection.
Public library patrons can search any topic and research any subject - globally, nationally, regionally, across the state and locally - with the most comprehensive online news resource NewsBank offers. Comprising over 11,000 news sources from around the world, the collection features 134 sources from Washington State alone, content from all 50 U.S. states and over 170 countries and regions. The vast majority of sources are in English but at least 10 other languages are represented.
Through one seamless search experience, end users can also browse and search The Seattle Times Integrated Solution (1985 - present), consisting of full-color newspaper pages, individual full-text articles and content only published online. Access also includes NewsBank's Special Reports and Americas News Magazines.
Access to this collection is available to Washington's nonprofit public, academic, CTC (Community & Technical College), and public school libraries starting now through December 31, 2019. The cost for this content access is underwritten by the Washington State Library, using federal LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) funds made available by IMLS (the Institute of Museum and Library Service).
Please note: libraries with existing subscriptions to NewsBank products must maintain those subscriptions to be eligible to participate but may access the additional content described here at no additional charge with participation.
At any point during this free access period, libraries have the option to enter into individual subscription agreements with NewsBank. (individual library pricing is available from NewsBank upon request). NewsBank will provide each participating library with that library's usage data from the paid trial period.
Additional information, including product title lists, contacts, and the "Intent to Participate Form" are all available on the signup page<https://sos.wa.gov/q/NewsBank> at https://sos.wa.gov/q/NewsBank.
Please note: The NewsBank License Agreement has been modified for the purposes of this offer, and is regarded as confidential and proprietary by NewsBank. This is the reason for requiring the use of a password to open it. The password is: tR at ns42foRm. We respectfully request that neither this document nor the password be shared outside the library. Each library should carefully review the NewsBank License Agreement before signing up for this offer.
Apologies for any duplication, as this announcement is being published in multiple forums.
Thank you for your attention!
