DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Library provides over 800 annual periodical subscriptions in
the Young Adult, Adult, and Juvenile categories. The most economic way of
handling a high number of subscriptions with varying expiration dates as
well as specific requests for additional periodicals is to utilize a
brokerage to order, track and expedite delivery. Ebsco Subscription
Services is a sole source subscription service that carries over 4,000
Spanish language titles and information reports such as Bulletin of
Serials Changes and Historical Price Analysis Report.
On January 5, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to Ebsco
Subscription Services. Staff has conducted research and determined that
Ebsco remains the sole source for Spanish language titles and recommends a
new contract in order to prevent subscription gaps and maintain continuous
magazine subscriptions.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the various Library Adult Other Agency Services
account (account no. 11-212-6251) and the Library Youth Services Book,
Records, and Video account (account no. 11-213-6651).
