continuing education

The EBSCO webinar has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 17 at 2:00pm.  An announcement was sent to the e-resources contacts and collections email lists and a reminder will also be sent.

New Proposals

Equinox Religious Studies Journals - The group decided there would probably not be enough interest to pursue a CARLI agreement due to the special nature of the product.

Film Platform - The group decided not to pursue an agreement at this time due to the current budget situation in many CARLI libraries which is forcing cuts to collections and e-resources.

Business Expert Press & Momentum – continue discussion at the next meeting.

Proposal discussion

Revisit discussion of small package proposals for next meeting.
