Shipping Options

Shipping options are dependent upon subscriber preference. If subscriber institutions have staff/personnel traveling to or from the USA, they may want their hard drive hand delivered. This could be free if such a person happens to be in or pass through Iowa City. Otherwise, a fee for shipping to such a person within the U.S. will be incurred. If subscriber institutions have ties with professors in other institutions across the United States who can deliver the eGranary Digital Library, that could be another option to minimize the cost.

On average, the typical weight for a hard drive is about 5 pounds, the hard drive/server edition is about 35 pounds and a computer is about 30 pounds. This doesn't include packaging material.
