Collect Best Sellers!
Collection Development By Listserv Considered & discarded the idea of Max Access (always available titles): –netLibrary Duplication –Too costly –Contrary to our Bestseller philosophy –No one wants responsibility for annual fee purchase additional copies of titles with >7 holds---distributed Monthly task among the group w/ highest hits DCPLS agrees to keep up with NYT Bestsellers members agree to stagger their allotted $1000 content purchase through the year Assume additional content beyond $1000 will be added New members will add at least $1500 content in the first year
Contract Says: For new Participating Libraries who join the Consortium during the quarterly enrollment periods of January, April, July and October, the participation fees shall be as follows: a) One time setup fee: $1, per library b) Initial content contribution: $1, per library Annual hosting fee: $12,000.00/ year divided among those Participating Libraries as of July 1st of the current year Required yearly content contribution: $1, per library For the avoidance of doubt, the yearly $1, content contribution must be contributed each July, regardless of additional content purchases made greater than $1,000 in the previous contract year. Participating Libraries shall be permitted to make additional content purchases at any time, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
