[lstac] ARPA ebook purchases

[Reish, Karren (MDE)]

We are working on the grants yet and are including digital content. We wanted the funds to have more life than a subscription that ends on 9/30 so we are going with One Copy, One User. So far no issues, but we also haven't given out the grants yet. Fingers crossed.

The vast majority of Georgia's public libraries (and maybe most of yours too) are OverDrive customers.

The following advice was sent by OverDrive<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcompany.overdrive.com%2F2021%2F04%2F20%2Fusing-american-rescue-plan-act-funds-for-purchase-of-digital-books-for-us-libraries%2F%23%3A~%3Atext%3DThe%2520purpose%2520of%2520the%2520ARPA%2Cvariety%2520of%2520content%2520and%2520media&data=04%7C01%7Creishk%40michigan.gov%7Cff298772be254e056ef208d93cd3ad08%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637607702104204891%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=catKvK8HDze%2FMAwgAIDxjUaTfCZ01Nfrw1Tkx0i12No%3D&reserved=0>, and includes lots of "IMLS confirmed" statements:

  *   The purchase of "materials" allows ARPA funds to be used for print books, as well as digital books under the "One Copy, One User (OCOU)" model (no metered expiration).  These titles will be available throughout the 16-month term and beyond, as titles purchased in OCOU do not have an expiration date.

  *   ARPA funds can be used for this ...Cost per Circulation (CPC) model starting June 1, 2021 and cannot be used after September 30, 2022.  IMLS has confirmed that if a library selects and offers CPC titles using ARPA funds, there is no requirement that the access to those materials must be throughout the 16-month ARPA term. For example, ARPA funds may be used on CPC titles whose budgeted amounts are expended prior to September 30, 2022.

  *   OverDrive's catalog of "Simultaneous Use" titles also complies with ARPA requirements as long as the order is placed and availability to patrons starts after June 1, 2021 and ends on or before September 30, 2022.

  *   IMLS has clarified and confirmed that Metered Access (MA) digital books may be categorized as a "service" and not as "materials" under ARPA.  Service purchases may not comply with ARPA requirements if the term extends beyond September 30, 2022.

Is this in line with what you're telling your libraries? I'd been sticking to the "ebooks have to expire by September 30, 2022" line, but now that applications are open, there are lots more questions.


Take care,

Wendy
