  2. MOREnet is a Consortium Each and every member is important to the whole Your membership and participation are valuable to us and we appreciate that this is a difficult time of uncertainty The following information is provided based on what we know today; we are all working with many unknowns

  3. FY15 Funding Core Restrictions • REAL program appropriation, $3.1 million • Impacts REAL contract for all MOREnet services • No contract can be signed until funds are released • State Aid appropriation, $3.5 million • Impacts certification process • Please continue to send in forms as usual • Both appropriations are restricted until funds become available

  4. FY15 Online Resources • MOREnet has a contingency fund for a portion of the Online Resource Databases • EBSCO, Gale and LEL will be renewed for FY15; Full and Basic members will retain access • Job & Career Accelerator will not be renewed for FY15 • We are exploring options to retain access to Heritage Quest for FY15 and hope to share this information as soon as possible

  5. FY15 MOREnet Membership Service Packages, Connections and Connectivity Fees • Invoicing will begin July 1 to provide you with as much notice as possible • Invoices will reflect the FY15 MOREnet rate, no REAL subsidy can be applied to any service fee • Applicable FY15 E-rate discounts will be included • Invoices terms will be Net 90

  8. Connection Upgrades • Upgrade orders currently in process are being placed on hold where possible • MOREnet will contact you directly to discuss your preference on continuing with the upgrade or not • New upgrade requests will be at the member’s cost

  9. Please Remember • Membership Services, For-Fee Services and Connectivity are all separate service decisions • Most connections carry an early termination fee (ETP), typically equivalent to the Monthly Recurring Cost for each month remaining in the circuit term (normally 1, 3 or 5 years) • ETPs are each member’s responsibility • For your reference, MOREnet will share any applicable ETPs with each library as of July 1

  10. REAL-Sponsored Services • Additional Services sponsored by REAL are on hold pending funding availability • Including: • Annual conference registrations and sleeping rooms • Wireless assessments • Sponsored training courses or regional events

  11. When REAL Funding is Released At that time, MOREnet will work with the State Library to address the available funds and how these can be applied to members’ service fees
