[LIBRARYDIR] [EXT] ideas/feedback Statewide Database Licensing

Tue Mar 26 10:49:18 PDT 2019

We aren't really all that taken with NewsBank and it isn't getting a ton of use here. We won't be subscribing after the trial. We would be lost without our Proquest products/databases so I would really like to see those continue to be offered at a great rate.
We also are interested in streaming media services (like Kanopy) and if there can be more cost savings or consortia pricing. There is an ebsco collection specifically geared towards technical programs that I am very interested in bringing on board, but that might only be interesting to the other tech colleges.

Hi all:

I just learned that at next Thursday's Library Council of Washington meeting, we will be discussing the State Library's database licensing program. I know ProQuest is essential and invaluable for many of us. How is it going for you with NewsBank?

Here's a prompt from the state librarian, Cindy Aden: "We are in active discussion with ProQuest right now; we have the option of mixing things up and of getting different or additional content if we think it will increase use. We also are talking about Newsbank, of course and looking ahead to the end of the pilot, and Elizabeth Iaukea wants to get a good entrepreneurial, business or career focused db of some kind to foster more economic development. What do you want? Maybe what are you buying now that you think is excellent that should be considered at a state level, where are our gaps, what is on your wish list."

I'm about to rush off for three days of vacation, but if you have any feedback, please send it my way so I can share it at that meeting. Please email me directly and I'll do my best to compile for the state library.

--Lynn
