DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Library subscribes to various databases that access print
articles from various business journals, trade journals, and
periodicals. The databases are also tracked throughout all branches of
the library and the Children's Learning Centers. Multiple users have
access to three separate databases, including a database in Spanish
(Informé). Providing the access to the databases is cost-effective by
eliminating storage and maintenance requirements for the subject
periodicals. The Gale Group is the sole source for the subscription to
the required databases. To allow for additional print book purchases
from The Gale Group and its subsidiaries, an additional contingency
amount has been included.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Library's Adult
Services account (account no. 11-212-6251).
