SELVIG/LIBRARY FAX CHARGES
The Executive Committee approved a change in the Selvig/Library Fax charges effective November 1, 1997. Existing charges have been $1.00 per page for outgoing fazes and $1.00 for an incoming fax.

The new charges will be $.50 per page for outgoing faxes and $.50 for an incoming fax. In addition to lowering the rates, the Committee has suggested that we pursue a fax routing system that is integrated with our current network. This will be reviewed in the near future.
