Hi All,
Here's a message from Laura Fingeret, our Proquest representative, about
products and 2017-18 pricing for BAISL members. I'm sending along
everything so that you can check out product links and then I'll also post
a summary on the BAISl website.
Best,
Mary Goglio
Here’s some information for ProQuest that will be helpful:
Any NEW subscriptions will be provided a discount of 20% discount from
current list pricing (so custom quotes would be obtained upon request from
me).
Mid to late last year, we acquired a company by the name of Alexander
Street, streaming video collection
1. *Academic Video Online: Premium (AVON)* - http://www.alexanderstreet.
com/products/academic-video-online-premium
<http://www.alexanderstreet.com/products/academic-video-online-premium>
This is a subscription-only collection that gives your students access to
the largest streaming video collection available with over 62,000 streaming
video titles 17,000 exclusive to Alexander Street. AVON covers all
subjects and disciplines and is the best overall video solution the
provides the best price per title. Content for K-12 includes things like
PBS, Stanford Experiment, History Channel, Nova, Ken Burns, etc *(content
suitable for mainly High School level)*
**We have our ebook subscriptions available (current ebrary customers will
eventually get migrated over to the new Ebook Central platform, but any new
subscriptions will start on Ebook Central – (ProQuest Ebook Central -
YouTube

http://proquest.libguides.com/ebrary
**We also have an Ebook Central Reference Collection ($995 bottom line
price, no further discount), a collection of over 525+ titles (comparable
to Gale’s Virtual Reference Library), but zero overlap if somebody already
uses ProQuest Academic Complete
We have a Mix n Match Promotional Bundle with our Historical Collections of
pick 5 for $1,500 (again, this is bottom line, no further consortium
discounting on this bundle) Great History Content, add Historical Newspaper
Titles to your existing ones, etc.
Here’s a link to our most widely used resources in the K-12 space:
CultureGrams, SIRS Discoverer, SIRS Issues Researcher, and eLibrary have
all been updated to integrate with Google Drive and Classroom (see Libguide
link below).
We currently have a process underway with some Product Simplification
(making it easier with some product naming conventions and more seamless to
our customers) so we will not be issuing any new subscriptions to eLibrary
Elementary, eLibrary Science, SIRS Decades *(Renewal Only*), SIRS
Government Reporter *(Renewal Only*), SIRS Renaissance*(Renewal Only*). As
far as SIRS Resources, we will only sell new subscriptions of SIRS
Discoverer, SIRS Issues Researcher, and the complete SIRS Knowledge Source
Bundle
*K-12 LibGuides*: http://proquest.libguides.com/k12
I am more than happy to offer 30 – 60 day custom trials for anybody
interested in evaluating any of the resources shown or if you have any
other needs, we have other solutions that many not be showing in this link
where you can browse the ProQuest website at www.proquest.com
