RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Ebsco Subscription Services for library magazine
subscription service for a period of three years in an annual amount
not to exceed $45,000.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Aha Library provides over 800 annual periodical subscriptions
in the Young Adult, Adult, and Juvenile categories. The most economic
way of handling a high number of subscriptions with varying expiration
dates as well as specific requests for additional periodicals is to
utilize a brokerage to order, track and expedite delivery. Ebsco
Subscription Services is a sole source subscription service that
carries Spanish language titles and information reports such as
Bulletin of Serials Changes and Historical Price Analysis Report.
On March 20, 2000, the City Council awarded a contract to Ebsco
Subscription Services. Library staff has determined that Ebsco remains
the sole source for the service and recommends a new contract in order
to maintain continuous magazine subscription service.
