MEMORANDUM
To: PNCMLA Members
From: Joseph Yellen, Regional Account Manager
Date: July 1, 1999
Re: MD Consult MLG Discount Program
Dear PNCMLA Member,
This memo will outline the details of a newly approved MD Consult Medical Library Group Discount Program, now being offered to the PNCMLA membership. Based on the success this program has had in other parts of the country, MD Consult is extending it to all other MLA affiliated library groups.
The business plan for this program is straightforward and simple.
The program allows all PNCMLA members to receive a volume discount
off an MD Consult Concurrent User and/or Reference Desk Edition
Institutional Subscription based on the following:
1) Price discounts are based on a minimum number of PNCMLA member
institutions that activate a MD Consult Institutional Subscription
within the 4-month program period (TBD and announced).
2) Discounts are as follows:
· A 20% discount will be provided on Concurrent User licenses
and 10% discount on Reference Desk Edition licenses to all members
activating an MD Consult Institutional Subscription between July
1 and August 31, 1999. Descriptions of each of these subscription
plans are attached for your review.
· A 10% discount on Concurrent User licenses will be provided
for activation occurring between September 1 and October 31, 1999.
3) This discount applies to initial purchases only (all contract upgrades are at full price). Institutions can apply the discount to lower the cost of subscribing to the MD Consult service or the discount can be used in the form of a credit used to acquire additional site licenses in the future.
4) Current MD Consult customers may also benefit from this program upon its successful conclusion by receiving a 20% credit on their current purchase level to be used for upgrades to their concurrent user licenses. Please feel free to contact me for further details.
The goal of this program is also straightforward and simple. For those PNCMLA members that have already budgeted for MD Consult, this program offers an incentive to activate a subscription within the program period. For those member institutions that have not yet evaluated MD Consult, this program presents an opportunity and an incentive to do so now.
I hope that you will find this discount program to be a strong sign of MD Consult's desire to develop a long term working relationship with the PNCMLA. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and/or comments you may have or email me for a complimentary 30-day MD Consult Preview Account. In addition, I can provide a list of references from current clients that can share their experiences about MD Consult upon request. General information and prices.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joseph C. Yellen
