Directors:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=522365600-06012010>The Oregon State
Library Board has asked the Statewide Database Licensing Committee to suggest
possible additional databases for the State Library to purchase. The Board is
doing fact finding at this point and has not committed to purchasing any
additional databases. SDLAC will be making a proposal to the Board this spring
and would like your assistance in determining which databases would be of
interest to the library community. We have created a survey to gather
informaiton on which databases are of interest to the widest range and number of
libraries. After the survey is completed we will work with the vendors of the
top 5 to gather information from them for our proposal to the Board. The survey
is available at:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

will be open until January 18th. Please take a moment to complete the survey or
pass the survey on to your staff who can complete it most effectively. We are
looking for one response from each library, we do not want responses from
individual librarians. If you have questions please contact me at 503-378-5012
