Electronic Subscriptions

Electronic Subscriptions

Libraries are required to give SWAN at least one month’s notice when individual libraries or groups of libraries plan a subscription to an electronic resource service and wish to have the bibliographic records for the respective titles represented in SWAN.  Libraries must fill out the Request for Electronic Subscription form before SWAN can proceed.

If a group of libraries plans such a subscription, one of the libraries should be designated as the contract library with SWAN staff.

Libraries should never sign a contract with a vendor until SWAN staff has signed off on the vendor’s format and network security procedures. If you have any questions, please contact Tony Siciliano at sicilianot@mls.lib.il.us or (630) 734-5143
