Amigos Announces eShelf Service Pricing Structure

Amigos is pleased to announce the pricing schedule for its new eShelf℠ Service e-book platform. Highlights are as follows.

Amigos eShelf℠ Service Member Pricing

• $300 one-time startup fee
• New item service fee: 10% of item’s purchase price
• $1.00 per item annual maintenance fee

Amigos eShelf℠ Service Nonmember Pricing

• $900 one-time startup fee
• New item service fee: 15% of item’s purchase price
• $3.00 per item annual maintenance fee

Annual maintenance fees will not apply until a library's second year of participation, and will be based on the number of titles purchased by that library during the first year. Successive years will work the same way, with the annual maintenance fee determined by the total number of titles hosted the previous year. Ultimately, both maintenance fees will be based on a sliding scale that will allow libraries that have purchased a larger quantity of titles to pay less per title. The fee tiers have not yet been determined.
