resources to our patrons. However,  <b>I ask that you not advertise these resources to patrons 
until the contract with the ProQuest has
been finalized</b>. Once the
contract process has been completed, OPLIN will issue out a formal press release. 
For those of you currently providing one or all of these resources to your patrons, the vendor will be in contact regarding options soon.<span></span></p>
