Dear Acqnet Colleagues,                              if your library has an Amazon corporate account, have any of you been approached by Amazon to upgrade from your corporate account to the new “Business for Education” account?

If yes, did you switch? If yes, what factors convinced you to switch? If you opted not to upgrade from corporate to Business account, what factors deterred you from switching?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

                Best,                      antje
