2007 offers 130 products to Ohio schools |
| INFOhio's popular
Electronic Resources
Vendor Preview enters its ninth year with 131 products from 29
vendors. Twenty-two products were not available in Preview 2006. Preview
2007 has several components: |
 |
Online preview from January 15 through
March 15, 2007 - Vendors agree to provide this generous time
period to allow in-depth evaluation of their products by educators,
students and parents. |
|
A page for each participating vendor on the
INFOhio Web site - In addition to links to products during the
preview period, the pages provide products overviews from the
vendors, technical support contact information and vendor
representatives to contact for additional product details. A link to
each vendor's corporate site often provides background about the
company. |
|
Online Price List 2007 - In many cases
Preview 2007 vendors offer Ohio K-12 schools a discount from their
list prices. Check Price List 2007 before placing your orders
for the 2007-2008 school year. Because prices are subject to change,
always check the most recent version of the price list, linked from
the Preview 2007
Summary Page. As information about the INFOhio Core
Collection Plus program becomes available, it will be included
in price list updates. The password was e-mailed to all librarians
on INFOhio's distribution lists on January 15, 2007. |
|
Mailbox Flier - This one-page flier will help educators
promote Preview 2007 to their colleagues. The PDF is
password-protected, with the same password as needed for the price
list. |
|
Evaluation - This online evaluation form
collects information about the value of Preview 2007 to those who
have participated in the program. The form is linked from the bottom
of each vendor on the INFOhio site and from the Preview 2007
Summary Page; responses will be accepted through April 16, 2007. |
