Several weeks ago, the State Library of Kansas and Kan-Ed announced

will replace those of our former supplier.  Products to be added,

●    Occupation practice tests – air traffic controller to teacher

Current products, including Heritage Quest and Nursing / Allied Health
Journals,  Chilton’s Auto Repair, Literature Resource Center, OneFiles
and WorldBook Encyclopedia, will continue to be part of the statewide
package.

As of July 31, the contracts with OCLC for WorldCat and Ebsco will end.
Corresponding products in our new line-up will replace Searchasaurus,
Kid Search, TopicSearch, Student Research Center, ERIC, Professional
Development Collection, Newspaper Source, and Novelist.

Kansas Tax Forms

The webinar on Kansas Tax Forms has been archived at Webjunction here: http://ks.webjunction.org/734
The state wants everyone to file online this year. Practice forms may be available by calling them or online, but they do not have the staff to process paper. Their page has just been updated:  http://www.ksrevenue.org/formsii.htm
This will have a major impact on us and it will be beneficial for us to take a look at the information on the archive.
