10. If a library subscribes to any of your products as a result of this trial, will their future subscription rates continue to reflect any savings or discount they may receive today?
Yes, we will give an initial discount, and continue it year after year.
11. What is the minimum participation level (however you care to define it) that would be needed to allow participating libraries to receive a discount? What is the minimum discount for a group buy? Please clarify how you would treat existing library customers with regard to a group buy.
Just one library can get 20% off list prices. A group buy will be priced by management upon a specific request. Existing library customers will finish their current lease period, and upon renewal date will receive consortium discount.
12. Please indicate whether libraries from Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and/or Hawaii would be eligible to participate in the group buying process.
Any libraries in OR, ID, AK, & HI are eligible.
13. Please provide name and contact information should libraries wish to make further inquires.
