Introduction to the Northstar platform, and guide for libraries and community organizations interested in using Northstar through the Washington State Library.

For Libraries

Every library in Washington is eligible for a Northstar account free through the state library.  This includes public, tribal, educational and special libraries.  If you are interested in trying out Northstar at your institution, please contact Joyce.abbott@sos.wa.gov. 

For Community-Based Organizations

Community-based organizations may access Northstar for their programs through the Washington State Library. Please contact Joyce.abbott@sos.wa.gov to discuss your ideas and needs.

  • WSL can provide access to a test account, and based on your needs, can provide a dedicated site license or access to a shared license.
  • Community-based organizations may be asked to share a license under some circumstances with another community-based organization.
  • For security purposes, A library may not share the same license with a Community-based organization.
  • Community-based organizations in need of a dedicated license will work with the state library on an annual basis to evaluate continued need.

 

For Other Institutions

If you are a government entity or a business, please reach out to discuss your needs further.
