There is some information that you'll need to know before ordering, and while each eContent partner or database requires slightly different information, the following generally applies: academic libraries may need to know how many FTEs they have and public libraries will likely be asked for average circulation statistics.

Once you have submitted your order, an OCLC Eastern staff member will contact you to discuss next steps.
