On-site training is not available for NJ Regional Library Cooperative Member schools. If necessary, a conference call can be arranged with the librarians and teachers at a school. With the extensive help available online, and with phone and e-mail support available to the school librarians and staff throughout the year at no additional cost, this is generally not necessary.

K-20 Pricing

NJ Regional Library Cooperative Member schools receive a 20% discount off of standard academic pricing. Standard academic pricing is available on the Web at:
http://www.noodletools.com/tools/subscriptions.php?type=2

Most single-campus license subscribers will fit into one of the following ranges:

For full-district licenses (all middle and high schools in the district participating), the 20% discount is applied on top of the variable full-district license discount of 10-40% described on the Web site:
http://www.noodletools.com/tools/subscriptions.php?type=3

Example calculations:

1. One high school with enrollment of 4,500.

    Cost = $420.00 * 0.80 = $336.00/yr

    Note: 0.80 is the 20% INFOLINK member discount.

2. One elementary school with enrollment of 200.

    Cost = $120.00 * 0.80 = $96.00/yr

    Note: 0.80 is the 20% INFOLINK member discount.

3. District with 5 high schools (each with enrollment of 2,000), 5 middle schools (each with enrollment of 800), and 12 elementary schools.

    Cost = (($360.00 *5) + ($240.00 * 5)) * 0.70 * 0.80 = $1,680.00/yr

    Note: 0.70 is the 30% district-wide license discount (for a district with 8-15 middle and high schools). 0.80 is the 20% INFOLINK member discount. Elementary schools are included free with the district-wide license.
