How are discounts calculated for groups which aggregate services for a number of libraries?
Each library consortium may compute the discounts on the basis of the school district in which each consortium member is located or it may compute an average discount; in either case, each library consortium shall strive to ensure that each of its members receives the full benefit of the discount to which it is independently entitled. According to the FCC’s Frequently Asked Questions (DA 97-1374), No. 15, a library system which orders services on behalf of its branches and has branches located in different school districts, will determine the discount to which each of the school districts in which its branches are located is entitled. The library system will then add the discount percentages and divided by the number of branches, which will yield the system-wide discount percentage. Reference: FAQ No. 15 of FCC DA 97-1374.
