[Libs-Or] Orbis Cascade Alliance communication with EBSCO and Ex Libris about data sharing

[Max Macias]

Did you not see the page?

I didn't see any Asian, Latinos, or Blacks in their leadership.

Please correct me if I am mistaken.


Homogeneous systems are defunct.


I'm saying that for a company who does business in the US, this
organization's leadership seems AWFULLY homogeneous.

Incidentally, from my perspective, those hash tags can cover the entire
library industry.





Thanks!
