[lstac] Statewide database funding models - ideas?

[Reish, Karren (MDE)]

I too would be very interested in discussing this as we are in the same situation in Michigan. I would be happy to compile notes for everyone as I'll already do that for myself.

Hi all, hope you're hanging in there this week.
In Nevada, LSTA funds databases for K-12, public, and academic libraries statewide, and we are now exploring alternatives.
Does your state offer cost-sharing or tiered subscription models? We are especially interested in creative or collaborative strategies that have worked well - and if your state has tested any "out of the box thinking" approaches, I'd love to hear about those as well.
Your insights would be a huge help as we figure out next steps-and I'm sure others in our community would benefit too.
Thanks so much!
With gratitude,
