This discount correlates to a consortium of 3-5 member libraries. Larger discounts may be available in the future as additional libraries join the consortium.
Trial access instructions were distributed via a March 24, 2025 message to the Trial mailing list. Nebraska librarians who didn’t receive this information or would like to have it sent to them again may contact Susan Knisely.
Reminder: Not all database trials are posted to the NCompass Blog. If you are a Nebraska librarian and you’d like to receive future database trial announcements directly in your email inbox, please make sure you are signed up for the Nebraska Library Commission’s TRIAL mailing list.
