CARLI UPDATES

• Denise noted that the CARLI instruction committee is having an event next week, the OER sessions are going on, and the Professional Alliance events are also listed on the CARLI Calendar
• Nicole announced that the selection system will be open to CARLI libraries for selection of FY24 subscriptions from April to mid-May.  Vendors are starting to enter products and pricing. One significant change is coming affecting many libraries. Back in 2013 CARLI purchased several Alexander Street Press collections, access fees for these collections have been paid by CARLI for the first 10 years but starting in FY24 libraries that want to maintain access to these collections will need to start paying the $250/year/collection access fee. 
• Nicole also shared that several OpenAthens agreement events will be held by the CARLI Collections committee on March 1st, Apr 6th, and May 3rd, 2023.  Registration info will be sent out shortly.
