3. What CPERS Does
In cooperation with more than 65 vendors, we offer discounted pricing
on individual and group subscriptions/purchases of a wide variety
of electronic resources and library products. Libraries save both
time and money when they take advantage of our discounts and
coordination of the order and renewal process.
We also serve an educational role on emerging technologies relating
to electronic resources and library products, schedule trials, help
you promote electronic resources in your library, and serve as your
conduit to vendors.
Electronic resources and library products are available to libraries and
schools both inside and outside the Minitex region
