-WALDO – Resources Available from SENYLRC

SENYLRC continues to work with WALDO (Westchester Academic Library Directors
Organization) through a NY3R’s/WALDO partnership. WALDO contracts with library vendors to
provide volume-discounted rates for various electronic resources and library services.
Libraries that subscribe to electronic resources that are negotiated by WALDO will be
invoiced by SENYLRC through this NY3Rs/WALDO partnership. In this arrangement the renewal
cost for resources includes a 5% administrative fee from WALDO; 20% of this fee amounts
to an additional administrative fee of 1% for libraries in the SENYLRC region.

Libraries in the SENYLRC region can subscribe to electronic resources and services from
many vendors through these volume-discounted contracts. Complete lists of vendors that
have contracts with WALDO are on their website at: http://www.waldolib.org/databases.asp.
WALDO will send renewal notices directly to the contact person at each library in June,
2008.

Please contact Rob Karen at WALDO (800-326-6495 or rob@waldolib.org) for assistance with
new orders, renewals, or other questions about WALDO resources.
