Promotes academic excellence by providing quality research materials!
Supports education, life-long learning and literacy state-wide.
Cost Effective!
Encourages economic growth by providing cutting-edge information for business, education, and healthcare.
State-wide purchasing will provide “economies of scale” resulting in competitive pricing that benefits education, healthcare, and business.
48 states already provide their citizens with this type of state-wide database access. Rhode Island needs to be one of those states
