[0] Statewide Database Licensing Program [1] Library Development Services [3] The State Library continues to license the EBSCO suite of high-quality library information databases, covering periodical articles, business information, health information, and other subject areas. In addition, the Library licenses the Newsbank Oregonian database. These licenses provide this information for all K-12 public and private school students, all college and university students, and nearly all public library users in the state at huge cost savings. This makes the databases affordable for all libraries and gives Oregonians more equitable access to high-quality library databases. [4] If all public, academic, and school libraries in the state were to purchase the EBSCO database on their own, the vendor estimates that the combined cost would be $10.7 million compared to the cost for 2005-06 of $769,737.
