The first box on the form asks for District Name. If your institution
doesn't show up on the list, you're supposed to click on the Can't Find
Your Institution Listed link, but that takes you to TeachingBooks.net's
home page with no more info on what to do next? What have others done
that's worked?
This will be fantastic if we can get it!

The FAQ page http://www.library.ca.gov/Content/pdf/services/toPublic/
FAQ.pdf (linked from http://www.library.ca.gov/services/to-public/k-12-
online-content-project/ ) states:
"All K-12 students in California can get access to these resources. Two of
the content providers – Encyclopedia Britannica and TeachingBooks.net –
are also voluntarily providing direct access through private schools and
public libraries. Technical staff from public libraries and private schools
should complete the technical form for access for Britannica and
TeachingBooks.net. For the ProQuest content, California K-12 students who
are not served through a K-12 public school district or charter school may
request direct username/password access through ProQuest’s customer support
at 800-521-72971 or by emailing customer_service@xxxxxxxxxxxx."

also:
"Online content providers may voluntarily provide access to private
schools and libraries and two of them are doing that. But it’s illegal for
a contract paid with public dollars to require vendors to provide the same
services to private schools. Private schools and public libraries are
extremely fortunate that two of the three online content providers have
voluntarily opted to include these entities in this project.”
(we are extremely fortunate…?)
Hope this help.

I also wanted to add that we were subscribing to TeachingBooksNet which is
an amazing author resource and much more. They notified me at the end of
last year that it is now FREE for schools. Don't miss this one.
