Hospital Libraries: Spring 2013 HSLANJ Group Licensing Initiative OfferSaturday, March 23rd, 2013PARTICIPATION IN MARCH 2013 GROUP LICENSING OFFER IS OPEN TO ALL MID-ATLANTIC HOSPITAL LIBRARIES PRINCETON, NJ (March 14, 2013)—For the 11th year, the Group Licensing Initiative formed under the umbrella organization Health Sciences Library Association of New Jersey (HSLANJ), has prepared an offer listing more than 446 resources from 10 vendors, at a cost savings of 15-60% off regular pricing. This March 2013 offer is extended to all hospital librarians throughout the Mid-Atlantic region (DE, NJ, NY and PA).

Known as the first consortium of its kind in the nation, the non-profit Group Licensing Initiative strives to provide access to the highest-quality, current electronic resources in the form of medical journals, books and databases, and at the most cost-effective pricing available thanks to the organization’s leverage of group purchasing strategy. To receive a copy of the March 2013 offer, please contact Project Manager Robert Mackes, MLS, AHIP, at 570-856-5952 or rtmackes@gmail.com. Deadline for participation is April 15. For more information, on the HSLANJ Group Licensing Initiative, including FAQs and testimonials, see www.hslanj.org/gli.html. This project has been funded in whole or in part with Federal funds from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, under Contract No. HHS-N-276-2011-00003-C with the University of Pittsburgh, Health Sciences Library System. Applications for Disaster Assistance from FEMA Due March 29, 2013Saturday, March 23rd, 2013Many libraries and organizations in our region were impacted by Hurricane Sandy: The Federal Emergency Management Agency issues a press release last week detailing the deadline for applications for disaster assistance. From the press release: “Survivors of Hurricane Sandy have two weeks to register for possible disaster assistance and to return applications for low-interest disaster loans to the U.S. Small Business Administration. The deadline for both is March 29, 2013. FEMA urges everyone who sustained losses from Hurricane Sandy to register, including those who have insurance. Insurance may not cover all losses. The 13 designated counties are: Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester.” More information can be found on FEMA’s website.
