Sounds like that deal is   "free to patrons"     NOT   "free to libraries" 
!!!    $2500.00 does NOT sound "Free" !!!

> NewspaperARCHIVE is a new program that gives public libraries and K-12
> schools around the world FREE access to NewspaperARCHIVE.com's historical
> newspaper database." The emphasis on free was in the original message. In

> would have to pay $71.40 a year for access to newspapers in our state.
> Seemed like a strange deal, but okay.

> So my supervisor emailed for an invoice and got this reply from Jeff 
> Brown,
> account manager at Heritage Microfilm:
>
> "The $71 subscription is an individual subscription and provides an
> individual a username and password.  This is not an institutional access
> subscription, so it would not be able to be used my multiple persons.  ...
> The institutional access subscription is $2500 per year."
>
> Our library cannot afford access. What about this reminds me of bait and
> switch?

> How does Access NewspaperARCHIVE work?
>
>
> By subscribing to Access NewspaperARCHIVE, your entire school or library

> IP
> addresses. Anyone on your network can then search Access 
> NewspaperARCHIVE's
> collection of newspaper pages at  <http://access.newspaperarchive.com/>
> Access.NewspaperArchive.com. A librarian will also be given a user name 
> and
> password to use our administrative tools, which will allow you to see

>
>
> How much does it cost?
>
>
> Access NewspaperARCHIVE is available for FREE to all K-12 schools and 
> public
> libraries. At no cost to you, your students or patrons can search, view,
> save and print full-page newspapers from any computer with network access 
> in
> your facility. Free access will include searchable newspapers from around
> the world, excluding your institution's local state. Content within your
> state/province and newspapers after 1977 are only available by upgrading
> your service to Access NewspaperARCHIVE Pro.
