<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Recently there have been a number of questions about the
database license procurement process we are currently involved in. While we are
limited in the amount of information we have available until the process is
completed we did want to provide what information we could. State Library staff
has developed an FAQ (frequently asked questions) document that is available on
our website at: <a
href="http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/technology/sdlp/index.shtml#The_2009_Request_for_Proposal__RFP__Process">http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/technology/sdlp/index.shtml#The_2009_Request_for_Proposal__RFP__Process</a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>You will also see a link to the actual RFP if you are
interested in that. The next step in the process is the Oregon State Library
Board meeting on June 19<sup>th</sup> where they will consider the
recommendation of the Statewide Database Licensing Committee and the LSTA Advisory
Council of Gale/Cengage Learning as the “apparent successful proposer”
based on the scoring process outlined in the RFP. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
