All webinars/recordings purchased with state or federal funds are required to be made available statewide to library staff statewide (LSTA Grant Guidelines, page 23). Thus all webinars/recordings purchased with LSTA Grant funds are available statewide, not just those purchased under this grant proposal.

PCI charges $500 for a single, one-off, live webinar that can be recorded and offered free of charge to librarians across the State of Florida. Why does it cost TBLC $1,242 per webinar/recording from PCI?

Novare charges $600 for a single, one-off, live webinar that can be recorded and offered free of charge to librarians across the State of Florida. Why does it cost TBLC $1,600 per webinar/recording from Novare?

Purchasing products/services in large numbers normally provides a deep discount to the buyer. Why is the reverse true in this grant proposal?

The total amount budgeted for webinars/recordings from PCI and Novare is: $201,593. The total cost for the same number of webinars/recordings from these two vendors if the unit cost was the same as that for a single, one-off webinar/recording would be: $78,900. The $122,693 difference between these two amounts could potentially be used in other grant funded projects.
