for a three-year period in the amount not to exceed $20,000.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Library subscribes to 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
(Informe) . Providing access to the databases eliminates storage and
maintenance requirements for the subj ect 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 Adult Services Other Agency Services
account (account no. 11-212-6251).
