Hi Bob, In regards to the voice message I left for you earlier today, I wanted to draw out the specifics of our prosposed offer to Holy Cross with our offfer through WALDO. We can also re-activate your trial from last year that would give you the opportunity to take a look at some of the great new content we added this year such as
- Concise Encyclopedia of Science and Technology by McGraw Hill
- Marquis Who’s Who titles

Xrefer and WALDO have teamed up to provide our best promotional offer ever! If you subscribe to Xreferplus through WALDO (by Monday, April 30th, 2007), Xrefer will provide a 15-month subscription to our Online Reference Library, Xreferplus, for the price of a 13-month (WALDO discounted) subscription. The subscription dates would be from 4/30/07-7/31/08.
If your current FY2006-07 budget is limited, you can subscribe now and pay for only 1 month at the pro-rated WALDO discounted price (May) and receive June and July for free. Then you will be invoiced for the remaining 12 months at WALDO discounted pricing on August 1st, 2007. The following is a breakdown of subscription options and pricing for Holy Cross. Xrefer offers two subscription options,
Xreferplus 100 and the
Xreferplus Unlimited. The following is a description of our subscription options:
- The Xreferplus 100 subscription option allows you to manage a collection of 100 titles by selecting the 100 titles that are most preferable for your institution. You can then add and drop titles during the course of a year. For instance, if a new title becomes available that you would like to have, you can drop a title that is not being used and add this new title to your collection.
- The Xreferplus Unlimited subscription option consists of all titles currently available (243 current titles) and all new titles released during the course of the year. Once new titles are released, you would automatically have access to these new titles. This year we will be releasing at least 50-100 new titles into the Xreferplus collection.
The following is the pricing for
Holy Cross based on a total FTE of up to 2,350 students:
Xreferplus 100 (Collection Management of 100 Titles) $1,500
Xreferplus Unlimited (All 239 current titles and all new titles added ) $2,250
15% WALDO Discount -($225) 15% WALDO Discount -($360) Total after discount $1,260 Total after discount $1,890 The total 15-month pricing for Holy Cross for the Xreferplus 100 would be $1,365 ($1,260 + $105). The total 15-month pricing for Holy Cross for the Xreferplus Unlimited would be $2,047.50 ($1,890 + $157.50). This means that the initial payment to WALDO to get Holy Cross started for the first 3 months would only be $105 for the Xreferplus 100 and would only be $157.50 for the Xreferplus Unlimited. Then on August 1st, 2007 you would be invoiced through WALDO for the remaining 12-months: $1,260 for the Xreferplus 100, or $1,890 for the Xreferplus Unlimited. Xrefer has also announced that we will be increasing our pricing on August 1st, 2007 by 5-10%. You will also avoid paying this pricing increase if you take advantage of this offer now. Xrefer will also be adding some outstanding titles from now through June including the
11 Routledge RUSA Award winning encyclopedias, among many others. These Routledge encyclopedias will only be available electronically on Xreferplus and cost over $2,700 if you were to purchase them in print. With the Xreferplus Unlimited, Holy Cross will automatically gain access to these titles and over 50-100 new titles added throughout the year as soon as these titles become available. I am very confident that Xreferplus will prove to be a highly useful and vauable resource for the students of Holy Cross and a solid investment for the library. We look forward to the opportunity of including Holy Cross to our growing list of highly-valued Xrefer customers and for the opportunity of providing you with outstanding service for many years to come.
