Committee of the Whole Meeting Tues 1/12 Agenda and Packet Posted - Please Register
by Aaron Skog 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

SWAN Directors & Administrators- The meeting agenda and packet for the January 12 10am - 12 noon is now posted. This meeting will review the upcoming renewal of the EBSCO database group-purchase. The packet contains two documents outlining the renewal options, and a second document showing the database usage overall for the 92 public libraries. https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/21_01_12/8422… The SWAN Board decided to hold this meeting to review the EBSCO year-2 renewal. We announced the date of the Committee of the Whole Meeting after its regular December meeting via the December 22nd SWAN newsletter. As noted at the December 3rd Quarterly meeting and within the SWAN Community Directors Forum, some library directors have expressed a year-2 renewal of the EBSCO group purchase with the option for libraries to opt-out. The meeting packet documents outline what that option means for the shared group purchase cost. This will be a membership decision with a vote, as it was last year in March. For those that wish to attend, this meeting will be hosted online via the SWAN GoToWebinar platform. You will need to register in advance: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5407912069148381453 This meeting will be recorded and posted for those unable to attend. I would also encourage use of the Directors Forum under the topic started about EBSCO Group Purchase: https://forums.swanlibraries.net/ Regards, Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7022 My pronouns: he/him/his SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>
