Press Release
CASPR Announces Unlimited
Users for librarycom.com
New version of librarycom.com provides
enhanced features and fewer restrictions.
Silicon Valley, January 1, 2001 - librarycom.com, the Web hosting
service for libraries, has been upgraded to version 3 and has changed
its pricing structure to allow an unlimited number of users per library.
Unlike version 2, which was sold on a concurrent user basis, with
the first user being free, librarycom.com version 3 is priced on a
storage and support basis only. Libraries can continue to automate
for free with storage use up to 10 megabytes of data. Those needing
additional storage, or support, can choose from a wide range of service
options.
"Frankly we confused many librarians with the 'per-seat' charge mechanism,"
says Norman Kline, President and CEO of CASPR, Inc. "They loved the
idea of a web based system, but couldn't figure out how many seats
they needed. Often corporate or school libraries would find themselves
needing more seats for a limited time, then drop down to a lower number
for normal use. With the new pricing structure, they never have to
worry about how many users might access their library," continued
Kline.
Librarycom.com provides libraries of all sizes with an immediate and
reliable online automation service at a lower cost then ever before.
With librarycom.com, customers are up and running on the very same day
they sign on, with all library data backed up and secure. Provided
as a service, there's no hardware, software or networks to buy or
maintain. Librarycom.com is accessible from any location on the Internet
using standard Web browsers.
Availability: Version 3 is available now to anyone with a standard
Web browser at www.librarycom.com.
Pricing: www.librarycom.com is a free Internet service for up to
10 megabytes of online storage, and is geared for small libraries;
libraries just starting to automate; or larger libraries who want
to test the service first before leaping. The Base service plan provides
an additional 5 megabytes of storage and telephone support for $300
per year, and is ideal for smaller collections. The Standard service
plan offers 30 megabytes of storage and telephone support for $600
per year and is well suited for small to medium size school and special
libraries. The Premium service plan provides 45 megabytes of storage
and telephone support and is a solid service for medium size collections.
The Superior service plan provides 60 megabytes of storage and is
excellent for larger libraries or for libraries with extensive cataloging
requirements. Even larger collection can be supported on a per custom
quote basis.
