Call for E-Resource RFP Response Reviewers
We Want You!
Be a part of the team that contributes to the E-Resource selection process.
HSLC has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for E-Resources. Specifically, the following E-Resources expire at the end of the year and are up for bid:
  • Academic Search Main Edition
  • AP Newsroom
  • Science Reference Source (Note that this also includes the Science Reference E-Book Collection E-Resource, which is a subset of Science Reference Source.)
However, the RFP issued broadens the scope to include other potential subjects to which vendors can respond. Find the RFP here!
Who are we seeking?
  • Librarians from POWER Library participating institutions.
What's the ask?
  • For responses submitted by vendors for your institution type, to visit trial sites and complete a score sheet. (A scoring template will be provided.)
  • We can’t provide an exact estimate of the time required for this commitment, which largely depends upon the number of viable proposals submitted by vendors.
