[yscon] Online Summer Reading Again - Contracts?

[Mabbott, Cass]

Hello!
  Some day I hope to go to Beanstack but we do not have a contract yet. I have worked with them in figuring out pricing, etc, and I found them to be very helpful and friendly.
Hope to see all of you soon,
Cass

Subject: [yscon] Online Summer Reading Again - Contracts?

Hello all, and happy (almost) spring (as we anticipate a big snowstorm here in CT...),

I just read over all of the past emails about online summer reading - and I still have a question... our contract with Evanced/Wandoo is over at the end of this summer, and unlike some of you, we have big buy in - so I really want to continue to provide this service.

To avoid having to put out an RFP, I am looking for other state contracts with ReadSquared, or Beanstack, or Counting Opinions. Apparently I can avoid that whole process by going on another state contract. Are you willing to share yours?

ALSO, when I was reading over past emails, I saw that there was one (2016) called Bookpoints that was being developed by California. Looks like it's open source, but I really don't know what that means in terms of what it takes to run it. Is anyone using this? If so, how does that work?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Linda
