Wilson Select Plus Pricing for 2010

Friday, May 28, 2010 - Beth Duttlinger 
   Illinois Library Systems, H. W. Wilson, and OCLC are pleased to announce the renewal of your library’s access to WilsonSelect Plus at a deeply discounted price. Wilson Select Plus is 100% full text and provides in-depth indexing, abstracts, and full-text for nearly 3,000 high-quality periodicals.In addition, all full text is linked to other databases that are part of the OCLC Base Package provided at no charge by the Illinois State Library. Please click here for the FY 2011 WIlsonSelect Plus structure.

Once again, pricing for this renewal will remain at the same level as last year. During this year, however, we will be switching to a July 1-June 30 subscription period. As a result, your subscription will be for 9 months (September 15, 2010 through June 30, 2011) and you will be billed a 9-month pro-rated amount. Attached is a chart showing the current rate and the pro-rated amount you will be billed.

In addition to being able to access the full-text content using FirstSearch, beginning September 15, you and your patrons will also be able to access the content via WilsonWeb! This is a wonderful opportunity to provide an enhanced service to your patrons at the same low cost.

As you are a current subscriber, your subscription will be automatically renewed on September 15, 2010, and will run through June 30, 2011. You will receive a bill in the next 30 days. If you would like to opt out of this subscription for the time period September 15, 2010, through June 30, 2011, please contact Amanda McKay at amandamckay@lcls.org. If payment has not been received by September 14, 2010, access to WilsonSelect Plus will be suspended.

If you have any questions about this offer, please feel free to contact Amanda McKay at amandamckay@lcls.org.


ALS Members Survival Guide

Friday, May 21, 2010 - Genna Buhr 
   The ALS Members Survival Guide was created quickly this week by the Consulting department for ALS members as they need answers in the coming weeks. By no means is this a comprehensive guide to everything that was ALS, but we hope it will provide you some assistance in situations where you need support.
