New Friday Notes: notes for next week


ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Starting with January 7, 2005  Friday Notes 2 will cease to be published and the New Friday Notes will replace it.
New Friday Notes will contain material for the next two weeks and will only publish something once, with the exception of sections called "Due Date" & "Links"  these sections will be at the end just before the "fine print stuff".
We would like to receive News Around NEILSA such as: new librarians, people who are leaving, changes in contact information and the like but that will depend entirely upon YOU providing the input.

Open Access & Access Plus:
The checks have gone out.
(edited)

Please note that Infrastructure checks are labeled "Enrich Iowa."  Open Access/Access Plus checks are labeled "Access Plus" unless there is no Access Plus payment. All the money in these checks is for Open Access and Access Plus reimbursement for FY 2004 transactions.  There is no longer a separate Infrastructure program.

If a library's Open Access/Access Plus reimbursement was less than $150, the library got a check for $150 from the Infrastructure fund labeled "Enrich Iowa."  If the Open Access/Access Plus reimbursement was more than $150, the library was paid 50.5% from Enrich Iowa and 49.5% from Infrastructure (once again, with a check labeled "Enrich Iowa.") 

The actual reimbursement for each library was 28 cents per transaction plus postage for Open Access and $1.70 per transaction for Access Plus.
