Here's another reason to attend the Surfing Beyond Search Engines database
conference September 27 and 28.  

 

The AIRS (Acquisition of Information Resources Statewide) Committee will be
going out to bid for new statewide database licenses this fall.  The current
AIRS database contracts for OCLC/FirstSearch, Ebsco Academic Search/Business
Source Premier, and Ebsco K-12 will end mid-2008.  Most of the major vendors
will be demonstrating their products at the Surfing Beyond Search Engines
database conference on September 28.  Come and see the products, ask
questions, and be part of the decision-making process!  We encourage you to
attend and complete the survey that will help inform the AIRS Committee
about which vendors and products to pursue in the RFQ process.  

 

The databases selected for statewide licenses by AIRS will be available at a
substantial discount for libraries who choose to participate.  

 

The AIRS Committee is charged with selecting, negotiating, and implementing
contracts and licenses for information resources on behalf of Colorado
libraries and to benefit Colorado residents.  This committee is made up of
library staff from several libraries and library related organizations that
are interested in cooperative purchasing.  Find out more about the work of
the AIRS Committee and Task Force: http://www.aclin.org/committees/airs/
