How The Cooperative Acquisitions Program Works

Title availability: An annual list of serials is prepared by the Rio Office and mailed to the participants in June or July. Subscriptions are supplied on an annual, calendar year basis.

Costs: The list provides the annual subscription cost estimate for each title. Added to the cost estimate for each subscription is an administrative charge for overhead costs and postage fees. Shipping charges are also assessed and include military APO charges for the international portion of the transportation costs and U.S. Postal Service fees for the domestic portion of the costs.

Shipments are made on a weekly basis from Rio, by air, to the continental U.S. and international destinations.
