Overview

CLC makes available of a variety of discounted databases to our public library, academic library, and school library members via partnerships with two organizations specializing in electronic resources.

PUBLIC AND ACADEMIC LIBRARIES

For our public and academic library members, CLC partners with WALDO, the Westchester Academic Library Directors Organization. Like CLC, WALDO is a not-for-profit multi-type library consortium - but unlike CLC, its primary mission is to support the procurement and administration of electronic information services for its members. CLC shares in WALDO's consortial contracts to receive deep discounts on databases. Public and academic member libraries procure databases directly from WALDO, with invoicing handled through CLC.

To see WALDO's current offerings for public and academic libraries, visit www.waldolib.org/databases.asp. You will need to set up a username and password to obtain pricing and ordering information. For questions and orders, contact WALDO. Your WALDO Account Specialist is Joanne Montgomery, Senior Electronic Resources Specialist, 800.326.6495 x2 or joanne@waldolib.org.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES

For our school library members, we have partnered with OCLC Eastern for all of your database and other eContent needs. OCLC Eastern is an OCLC-owned service center in Washington D.C. that provides education and support for OCLC products and services, as well as discounts on services and programs such as electronic resources, databases, library supplies and consulting.

To discover the wide range of electronic resources available to your school library, visit OCLC Eastern's eContent site. You may participate in free trials and order databases directly through OCLC Eastern.

To subscribe to a database or request a free trial, order online, contact OCLC Eastern, or call Beth Ewoldsen at 800-543-4599 x1200 for more information.

About ResearchNow (for academic libraries)
ResearchNow has been named to the "Best Reference 2005" list in the April 15, 2006 issue of the Library Journal: "This scholarly database just may be the face of the future in online publishing, with content coming from three sources: 25 peer-reviewed Berkeley Electronic Press journals; working papers, preprints, and other "grey literature" from institutional repositories; and items posted directly to the portal via the ResearchNow Upload Utility. Most notable: the file offers "quasi-open access," as some content is unrestricted while other content requires a subscription." (LJ 2/1/06)
