Buying Groups: EBSCOhost Add-On Databases
EBSCOHost Buying Groups FY12
EBSCOhost database buying groups are back for FY12. The State Library hopes to double the size of this program and is now offering an additional consumer health database to its offerings. EBSCO is offering a price breakdown that considers small population size libraries (less than 2,500) to make the databases affordable to a majority of Iowa libraries, along with basic EBSCOhost accounts that are subsided by the State Library of Iowa.

As part of a buying group, you can take part in any or all of these additional databases. You can pick and choose what database you would like.
The more libraries that sign up, the better the pricing. Members last year generated a lot of savings for libraries on these resources and the State Library hopes this model of resource sharing will make a big difference in library participation.
The buying groups will operate in addition to a library's current EBSCOhost subscription. You must be subscribed to the basic EBSCO product to participate.
The following databases are available as part of the buying group. Please click the hyperlinks below for the database description, title coverage list, and other pertinent information.
