What is the proposed product or service?

The Chicago Manual of Style Online http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html

What does it do?

Incorporates the style manual, Quick Guide, Q&A, and tools such as sample forms, letters, and style sheets.

What problem does it solve?

Can provide campus-wide (IP recognition) web delivery of one of the most widely used style manuals in academia.

Is it the only product or service that does this?

Not the only style guide in use, but an important one that is required in many academic fields.

Will this require integration with an existing CARLI product or service?

Suggest that Chicago Manual of Style Online be evaluated for possible inclusion in the db brokering program.

What is the advantage of doing this consortially?

Possible discounts for consortial pricing? http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/subscription_opts.html "Libraries: To obtain pricing and establish a subscription, please contact the University of Chicago Press at 1-888-472-2744 (toll-free within the U.S. and Canada) or 1-773-702-5300, or at cmosbusiness@press.uchicago.edu. You will also need to provide the number of FTEs at your institution and the IP addresses from which library users will access the site."
